    stripped fork threads

    Is there anyway to fix stripped fork threads were the axle screws into? My front wheel was loose and i went to tighten the axle and the threads in the forks are beat.

    I did the same on the Big Red and never got round to fixing it. Somebody may shout at me for assuming this as I am not sure that it can be done with such a large diameter, but could it be helicoiled??
