I have a left-hand pedal crank with a fairly badly stripped thread.


Bearing in mind that I hope never to have to see a stripped pedal thread
again (and certainly, not see one again at the bottom of a Spanish
mountain, but that's a different story) is it even worth trying to
repair it with a kit or getting it repaired by a garage?


It was only a cheap crank to begin with.


Is it not possible to buy the spares? Is it an internal tread that could
be repaired by a helicoil? Not that I've ever seen a left hand thread
version of one - and standard ones cost enough.
