Thread damage on carbon crank set HELP

sharkeyboysoul

Anway, give me some pointers as to whether or not the aluminium pedal thread on a SRAM Force carbon chainset can be repaired or replaced. There's nothing left of the thread on the chainring side, as the pedal was incorrectly inserted and cross threaded big time.

Sorry to help you a bit more. I use them in cars. Here's a vid on You Tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFYa6sjhh_E

Machine Mart do them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFYa6sjhh_E if you live local to one, but you can get them cheaper on the internet
