I have a rigid lefty fork and the helicoil has been damaged. Can anyone help with the spec of the helicoil so I can buy the correct replacement. The only one I can find is from USA and wants $100 !!!!!!!

Give 'TF Tuned' a call, they're the Lefty Warranty/Service centre for the UK, or the guys at Chelmer Cycles.

Or try Thumbprint tuning, I doubt there much Lefty here doesn't know about or can supply.

Alternatively

Is it the one in the base of the leg, where the boot goes over?

Mine popped out and bent and i had no end of problems until i sent it off to eighty aid who had the service deal then.

If so, mine was caused i think by not resetting the bearings regularly enough if that helps

Hi All
Thanks for responses. Just to clarify its the steel thread insert that is fitted into the end of the stub axle/spindle that the hub bolt threads into.

Is there anyone else that could advise on the spec of the helicoil insert?
