Re: [RBW] Re: How crucial is it to chase the threads a derailleur hanger
Now it makes more sense. I SEE our mechs chasing der hanger threads, maybe just figured if they saw a particularly "clean" one they might skip it. I'll find out the deal anyway, but might not "report my findings" here on le Forume.. just because...it'll be taken care of or already is, whatever.

Derailleur is in. Thanks for all the advice folks! Exacto on the first couple of threads to get it started was a pain in the butt, but helped a lot in my case. I tried Grant's method of going in from the inside as well. Bob B. Brooklyn, NY -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

If der is reluctant from outside, try it from inside, which tends to have less paint. Then (need I say? hope not...) go at it again from the outside. It's an M10 x 1 thread, we have taps, but if it isn't visually thick with paint, just a little, we leave it. In my history, the thinking was that a little paint does no harm, may act kind of like loctite...but one can look foolish arguing that in public. But...I'll note all this to the mechanics, who never rush thru a frame and will be aghast and I hope even insulted unless I present it perfectly, On Wednesday, May 30, 2018 at 8:42:17 AM UTC-7, Bob B wrote: > > On a repainted frame that clearly has a coat of paint in the derailleur > threads... how crucial is it to chase those threads?

You're worried for no reason. Still, a sharp Exacto knife around where the threads start to remove paint has worked well in the past though not on the derailleur hanger per se. --Ed C.

[RBW] Re: How crucial is it to chase the threads a derailleur hanger
Without the time to find a thread tap to chase paint from those threads, I once took an old axle of the same threading I had and used a Dremel to run a few notches across the threads (without distorting them) to create a hanger thread chaser. Wouldn't straighten up wankered threading, but it sure does a number on overspray in the hanger.

I had no choice on my canti Sam. The derailleur would NOT thread in.
