Bikes: '96 Litespeed Catalyst, '05 Litespeed Firenze, '06 Litespeed Tuscany, '20 Surly Midnight Special, All are 3x10. It is hilly around here!

I presume the original threads are damaged to the point where just "chasing" them with a threading die won't be enough.

I have heard of having a frame maker melt brazing brass into the damaged threads and then recut the threads using the proper threading die.
