Any ideas on how to get this threaded portion of the rear steer tube "out of round" corrected?
Cause of the damage...
The rear handlebar stem wedge was jammed in the stem (bolt was broke off).
So in my infamous wisdom, I used a deadblow to hammer it out.
Not paying attention, the stem became angled and was removed with it at an angle.
Rookie mistake, I know.[emoji30]
Now the top of the tube is egged shape. I did manage to use a block of wood (to not damage the theads) and a hammer to get it back in shape but, not perfect.
Result as it sits now.
The threaded area is mushroomed just above the threaded on top race..so that can't be threaded off. And the top edge still out of round won't allow the top nut to be treaded on.
Not like I can just go out and get another rear tube replacement.
Thought about using a rosebud torch to heat it up enough to to thread the race off hoping it would reshape the tube but, that's a lot of torching.
HELP!
