Yo.....
Well, my boxxer race is slowly starting to die...
3 of the 4 bolts that grip the 20mm axle are stripped...well, its the lowers that are stripped(mostly because the lowers are aluminum and the bolts are steel..So I guess it had this coming... )
Now my question would be....should I helicoil the threads? Or is it fine the way it is? I had thought that since all the force exerted upon the dropouts would be upwards, and since the bolts are located under the axle, that It would hold just fine and there would be no problem with just letting it be...Or am I going to have to cut my losses and get a new fork/lowers ??
Any suggestions would be appreciated
