Had my front rim fixed last week and the tire put back on this past weekend. When I put the wheel back on the thread (in the lower fork) was completely stripped. Went to look at the torque setting for the clamping screw (19Nm) and before the screw even started tightening I could just feel it going round and round...Took it out and the thread simply fell off the screw in little pieces of shavings. No idea if this was from corrosion of from the past incorrect tightening by the previous owner.
Anybody come across this before and more importantly, how can I fix this? helicoil? how easy is that to do myself?
Thanks
