I seem to have stripped the threads on the front forks of my old Dahon made folding bike..It takes an old style conventional headset..1 and 1/8 inch and the handlebar post fits in and a wedge is tightened. Is there any way that the threads on the fork steerer tube be repaired. A friend of mine has suggested the only way is to get a welder to fill in the threads with a braze and recut the threads..Is this the only way to fix the threads?
The other alternative is to buy an old bike with similar forks and fit them?
