Hi all, as in the title, I have one with stripped threads, don't worry I will not tell you how I got it removed, some may cry, some would laugh there lungs out, I just did what I had to do, needless to say alloy can be cleaned up and reanodized, and shimano BB can and should be thrown out anyway, I digress yet again, anyone that can help me PLMK, as would be good to be able to repair before I put this together in the midyear.....regards wayne.......
