Buy new pedals

I've seen mechanics re-thread cranks before. Go to a good bike shop and see if you can get them to tap it for a reasonable price.

Then you can make all sorts of "tap that" jokes with the mechanic.

booooo. you didnt tell him to buy something. combobreaker

 

[first_rodeo]

do tap and die crank threads fail?

 

[PON3]

if you stripped the spindle on the pedal, depending on the type you can buy a new spindle. If not just buy new pedals, they will be better than what the bike came with anyways

 

[Z.J.H.]

There is nothing you can do I'm sorry but you are going to have to throw your bike away and buy a new one.

 

[Funnel]

Buy a car.

 

[cool_name]

[Spic-N-SpaN]

This actually happend to me before, twice

Try to find just the side your looking for used on pinkbike. I ended up buying new cranks

If you happen to need drive side Truvativ Hollzfeller or Husslefelt ISIS cranks, PM me

You'll have to bore them out to a bigger size then find a pedal with a thicker thread that will fit in it (this will only work if you're running 1/2" pedals and go up to 9/16").

Another option would be to helicoil it, but I'm not sure how easy it would be to get your hands on a 9/16"-20 helicoil kit. Maybe a bike shop would have that size.

Or, you could weld more material onto the crank hole, drill it out, and retap it to fit a pedal.

Also, buy Full Tilts.

Aaaaand there it is

 

[first_rodeo]

cost to have shop tap and die ?

i'd prefer not to have to buy a new crank

 

[ILLinoisance]

It would have to be a weld, tap, and die. I'm assuming around $50 at a machine shop.
