Hello
Just finished the frame to find the rear mech thread is knackered. Has anyone helicoiled
one of these threads before or is there another repair?

Changing the drop out in NOT an option.

Thanks
Paul
 
Are helicoils available in that thread size?

Would it be possible to chop off the drop out and fit a replaceable alloy one?

Drop out saver sounds like the simpolest and cheapest optuon.
 
You may be able to fit a nut (it would have to be slim) on the inside of the hanger to hold the derailleur.
 
£7 vs £11 so nut much in it. Helicoil kit is far cheaper than i expected and gives neater solution, is the one id have gone for.
