I'm considering buying a secondhand frame which I've been told has damaged threads on the ISCG tabs.

Anyone dealt with this successfully before?

beat me to it. ISCG is more about alignment.

I did think about that while eating my lunch just now, yeah.

Thanks guys, I don't think it'll be a dealbreaker anyway.

might be worth checking there's clearance for a nut, some of my frames wouldn't get a nut in there
