last night on the way home from a ride out two bolts worked loose from my front disc.
Chewed up a chunck of fork leg and caliper bracket.
All as I was overtaking....scared me shitless.
I got RAC home and tonight started the repairs.
Caliper bracket and fork leg need replacing but will last till the end of the season.
Removed/replaced all the bolts, re-locktightend them.
However 1 bolt appears not to want to go back in.
Can I clean the threads in the wheel with a tap i.e. re tap the thread.
I am due to go on a bike rally this weekend. all bolts are tight with that 1 bolt missing. its only 60 miles to the rally will I be OK with the 1 bolt missing.
Any ideas
