[QUOTE="PeterT, post: 10118, member: 22"] Hi Guillame. Most of the guys on this forum are in/around Calgary & surrounding area. Shipping your frame anywhere would probably cost $50 one way, so kind of puts a $ damper on things for you right away. As a suggestion (assuming you are running out of options) is using something like a Dremel with a carbide burr & basically grind out the screw remnant. If the threads are messed up to the point you cannot re-dress them with the appropriate tap, you might be able to tap a larger size & Loktite in an insert like a Helicoil. But that involves another special tap & may not be great on thin walled tubing. I would suggest of you haven't already, visit a bike shop. They may have seen something like this before & have some tricks of their own. At least they will have a better opinion. If the screw is low load like to mount an accessory, that's different than high load for part of the driveline etc. [/QUOTE]
