Topic starter
 

I took the horrible pump bracket off my Cervelo yesterday only to discover that I crossed the thread when I put it on for the Marmotte.

Anyway, it looks like I have ruined the first half of the thread, but there is about half left. Any ideas on what I can do (I don't have a set of taps/dies (?))

I guess I'll be off the the LBS with it for them to tell me the bad news. I guess worst case is sent it off for a new bottle boss to be fitted.

What a plonker though 😳
