{"product_id":"icetoolz-e282-thru-axle-dropout-tap-set","title":"IceToolz E282 Thru-Axle Dropout Tap Set","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe IceToolz E282 is a workshop tap set for repairing damaged internal threads in bicycle thru-axle dropouts. It is intended for professional mechanics and experienced technicians dealing with frames or forks where the axle can no longer engage cleanly because the dropout thread has been damaged. Rather than replacing a dropout component immediately, the set is designed to restore the existing thread accurately when the damage is repairable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGuided Repair Process.\u003c\/strong\u003e The tap is aligned through the dropout so the cutting tool follows the original thread path instead of entering at an angle. This controlled engagement matters on valuable frames and forks because poor alignment can worsen existing damage or create a new thread path. The cutting profile is designed to clean and reform the damaged internal thread while maintaining accurate engagement, giving the mechanic a more controlled method than attempting to chase the thread freehand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCheck the Axle Standard.\u003c\/strong\u003e Thru-axle systems use several different thread formats, so the correct tap must be matched to the bicycle before any repair begins. Confirm the axle thread specification from the frame, fork or axle manufacturer rather than judging by axle diameter alone. The E282 is a specialist thread-repair set and should be used carefully, with the workpiece correctly supported and aligned. A tap handle is not supplied, so a suitable handle must be available separately before the set can be used.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Icetoolz","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47365195202721,"sku":"4718152142825","price":6190.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0558\/5869\/2257\/files\/ShopifyProducts_bec75fed-751f-44ca-b2bc-4f5c52981bb5.png?v=1789460433","url":"https:\/\/www.thebikeaffair.com\/products\/icetoolz-e282-thru-axle-dropout-tap-set","provider":"The Bike Affair","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
