This is off a customer bicycle. A Jetson from Costco, I noticed it was stripped while adjusting the rear brake.
I replaced entirely in the moment but used the discarded part to learn how to do it better next time.
Helicoils in aluminum are dead simple and a pretty permanent fix.
Cheap, easy and tough. I use them regularly at work.
Out of curiosity, how did you repair the stripped threads? I gather that this is an aluminum component? Given that this is what mounts a disc brake caliper, would this repair be reasonably safe to ever reenter service?
As mentioned, helicoil is one approach, nutserts are another.
All depends on the material and how the mounting works.
100% not dull!
Loved doing repairs like this when I was a bike wrench - incredibly satisfying to save components from the scrap bin.
