Hi
One of the bosses for one of the two bolts that holds on the bottle cage on my bike is cross threaded and so I can't tighten the bolt securely. Is there any way of re-threading the boss or replacing it? The frame is aluminium (CAAD 9) if that helps.

Take it to your LBS. They will probably just re-tap the hole. Isn't a time consuming job and shouldn't cost a lot.***** Pro Tour Pundit Champion 2020, 2018, 2017 & 2011 *****0

There will be an insert that is put into the carbon frame. So re-tapping the hole isn't going to damage the carbon.***** Pro Tour Pundit Champion 2020, 2018, 2017 & 2011 *****0 -
