Front Axle Threads

Originally posted by davej View PostNow I have a question about running a tap thru the threads on the fork tube. How tight do you adjust the pinch bolt for the axle while tapping the hole????He put it on a drill press, drilled the hole, then tapped it. Then he cut the insert to the length it needed to be and he screwed the insert into place. It was a key locking insert, so then he tapped keys into the outside of it to lock it into place. That's it. Basically, it works just as if the fork was still tapped for the axle. Now the problem is (and I didn't realize this at the time cause I was very new to this bike, only had it for like a week) that that insert is now blocking access to the bolt that holds the dampener cartridge in place in the bottom of the fork. So what I'm gonna do now is use the current hole in the bottom of the fork as a guide and drill thru the insert to gain access to the bolt. Then I'll run a tap thru the insert to clean up any threads that got buggered up from the drill bit.
