• Rethread a hub

  in Mechanics & Fixin' • 10 years, 7 months

  

  I suspect I already know the answer, but I'm hoping nonetheless...

  Today I found that when I pedalled my rear wheel didn't turn. After a quick inspection it was clear that the sprocket had stripped the threads on my hub. Ordinarily, I would mourn, then excitedly move on to thinking about the new purchase I have been forced into making, however the hub in question is a rather nice mavic pista hub, which are quite hard to come by and I'm quite unnaturally attached to it.

  So the question is, has anyone had any luck, ever, attempting to 'rethread' aluminium threads, there is still a decent 'crest'. I know you can silver solder steel, so is there an equivalent. Any help would be much appreciated...

  It´s posible. But you need to put the hub out of the rim, then fill the damaged thread with TIG and then put the hub on a lathe and make new thread.

  Possible but with a little work and probably not the cheapest option.

  If you're riding so close to the bike in front, that you can't see potholes, broken glass and the like, then you are riding too close to the bike in front.

  for sure
