I'm struggling getting my pinch bolt back home, the internal threads appear to have crossed right at the start which is proving a pain.
Any tips for a x-threaded inners?

run a tap through it.
is it through hole? put a bolt in from the back to clear the threads."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

not through no, it's an old LX cantilever arm - the pinch bolt screws into the point end into the body of the arm.
I haven't got access to a tap, is it something I can get a workshop to do for me? is it worth it?get on your bikes and ride!0 -
Am engineering works should be able to to this in a few mins, take ther bolt with you so they can see the pitch ot the thread, think it'll be M6x1.0.I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.0

the advantages of sharing a house with a car mechanic/all round engineering type - jsut had to mention tap and x'd thread and he was off...
thanks 4 the advice chaps.
