They are when they're on something you can't replace - adds a poopy factor.

mine had bits of metal pushed into the threads from abused top headset bearings and the start was all chewed up . i did it with a blunt blade and some love . the whole thread dos nt need to be intact . its the start thats most important  like when you need to grind thread off 2 sides of axle because the dropout entry is tiny. trhe nut will still go on and spin all the way with 30 % thread gone .   hope im not teaching you to suck eggs.  :daumenhoch:

Not at all me old mukka - I've done a fair few male thread repairs, but the female ones always give me the shits. Also all good info for anyone looking in without a set of needle files  :daumenhoch:
