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

New derailleurs don't come with Helicoils so this is apparently the second failure. The factory bolt is M5x.8 so you could retap it M6x1.0 or even 1/4"-28 unless the Helicoil repair required oversizing the hole too far for those threads.

Another fix is to get a slightly longer bolt and use a nut on the other side of the clamp area.
