Re: [RBW] stripped braze-on
I think using a nylock, putting a screw all the way through and using that as a sleeve to contain the screw will lead to problems down the road. If that screw is in there, slamming around and you bounce down the road, it's a shock on each bump. The cheapest fix IMO that would be really secure would be to find a 6mm tap and just go oversized on those and call it a day. My two cents.

Re: [RBW] stripped braze-on
Geoff, The bolt (might need a button head for clearance if drive side) and nut properly tightened will hold rack to braze-on with clamping force. It won't budge over bumps or cause any problems. Lots of older bikes have unthreaded braze-ons meant to be used exactly like this. I'd go this route in the OP's place. I do this on perfectly fine rack mounts anyway. Belt and suspenders approach.

Re: [RBW] stripped braze-on
If you do chase the threads, make sure you get new hardware, bolts stretch over time with use and that could contribute to your problem.

[RBW] stripped braze-on
Hope y'all are getting some time off for riding. In the 70s here, but raining cats and dogs for two days, so working on my bikes and looking for the most practical, creative and immediate solution to a stripped braze-on on my Betty, unfortunately the BO to which the rear rack attaches. Don't know how it happened. Just noticed the rack was loose, and that I could tighten. The 5 mm screw was a little bunged, as well. Tried another screw and it gripped a little deeper, but eventually started spinning as well. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.

Re: [RBW] stripped braze-on
You can try chasing the threads with a M5x0.8 tap but you may need to repair it with a helicoil insert, like: http://www.amazon.com/Helicoil-5546-5-Metric-Coarse-Thread/dp/B000BB8XLG It sounds scary but it's not that hard. cc On Tue, Dec 23, 2014 at 8:28 PM, Mobile Bill wfi...@rocketmail.com wrote: Hope y'all are getting some time off for riding.

Re: [RBW] stripped braze-on
Without a pic I am guessing you mean the threaded cylinder brazed to the seat stay? Maybe just use a nylock nut with a new bolt? Is that ok to use for a cylinder like that? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups RBW Owners Bunch group.
