sorry, the subject is right the first sentence was wrong.
i need a die for the lockring threads so i can chase them.
I have a phil wood lockring and it is italian threaded. 1.32 x 24, it won't thread on the low flange hubs i have. it threads on the high flange hubs i have just fine.
> does anyone know a source for italian threaded
\r?\n> lockrings?
\r?\n> i have some low flange campy hubs that i just laced
\r?\n> up, i tried to thread a phil wood lockring on them
\r?\n> and
\r?\n> it gets really tough to turn after about 1/2-3/4 of
\r?\n> a
\r?\n> revolution.
\r?\n> there are a few spots where it looks like the
\r?\n> threads
\r?\n> were dinged. i cleaned them up a bit with a small
\r?\n> file
\r?\n> but still feels exactly the same.
\r?\n>
\r?\n> right now i have what seems like two options.
\r?\n> 1. get the file back out and very meticulously file
\r?\n> the area of threads were i think the friction is
\r?\n> coming from then grease the threads up and force the
\r?\n> lockring on, lol. i'd rather not.
\r?\n>
\r?\n> 2. find the 1.32 x 24 left hand die so i can chase
\r?\n> the
\r?\n> threads. i'd rather do this.
\r?\n> does anyone have this die?
\r?\n> would you loan it out? i'll pay shipping both ways.
\r?\n>
\r?\n> is this die more common than i'm thinking and could
\r?\n> it
\r?\n> maybe even be found in a shop? or better yet, in the
\r?\n> nice campy tool kit at the local bike co-op????
