Felt IA - Screws
Quote | Reply
I bought a used Felt IA, which came with one of the little 2mm screws stripped. It seems like the previous owner went to town on the head of this screw. The head is stripped, not the threads. Has anyone tried to drill out and extract one of those 2mm screws? It scares the crap out of me. I've searched and found some non-drill extractors for precision screws, which just twist in like a screwdriver, but the kits only go up to 2mm. It seems like I'd need to size up one size since it started as a 2mm, but is now opened up. The screw is the upper screw in the front derailleur cover plate, which sits behind the bottom bracket.

Has anyone experienced this? What did you use?

Thanks,
Dan

Btw, for the bottom brackets covers... you can get a M2 screw, with a socket cap (it doesnt sit flush, but its underneath, and out of the wind for sure).. its deeper so it wont strip again
