I bought a dura ace front mech off here a while back, and have just got around to putting it on my mum's bike for her. Everything was going fine, up until I get to the part which clamps the gear cable to the mech! It seems as though the threads are gone inside (not sure how that could've happened). Otherwise the mech is sound, so I want to make it work.
I have tried using a nut and bolt, however there is not enough clearance for the nut when shifting up, as it is obstructed by the part of the mech with the hi/lo screws. Any ideas?
