DOH! striped caliper bleed hole
I striped what looks like the top 2 revolutions of threads on my S calipers. I tried taking it to my local wrench but he didn't have the right tap. He sent me to his machine shop and they didn't have the right tap either. Evidently 11x1mm taps are really rare. Can you even get them and if so from where?
Even if I did tap this back straight would it work as well? The stripped part is bad but it doesn't extend too far down at all.
