Santa Cruz mentioned tapping the threads though they didn't sound confident it would work (depends on how much metal was lost I guess). Not sure how thick the insert is and whether it'll take a helicoil. I'll probably take it to a machine shop and see what they can do. Nothing to lose at this point. Fortunately it's mud season now so she's not missing riding time.
Worst case scenario, you could get an axle from a dh bike that's spaced for 157mm, then stick a nut on the outside of it. If it comes to that, let me know, I have some things you could use.
But yeah I'd try a t-bolt or helicoil first.

So much for SC being indestructible.
However many are in a shit ton.
Will SC sell you a crash replacement frame for a deep discount? Its an expensive fix but may be cheaper than a new rig.
Out of stock. But that's the logical route to take.
Same here. 52 and ride a specialized downhill bike. Ate shit hard a year ago and learned to tone it down a bit

Bacon tastes good. Pork chops taste goood.
^^ Best YouTube Comment: "They should make their frames out of whatever that post is made out of."
That wouldn't have happened had he been riding a hardtail
"But they look so beautiful, so perfectly sculpted!"
Charlie weighs in on the plague.
The big-walled entry, empty post-apex character is a Zootown feature too. Thanks Ben Horan! Roadies know berms like nobody's business!
Lol. Road bike better for that crap.
It's a really nice photograph, but those don't look fun to ride.
Meanwhile, in Germantown:

Come in straight, air over the first lip, skip the second berm, ride the third one... which is how they should have built it. Tight back and forth berms are great when they help you get through some tight trees but that's just unnecessary. Berms for berm's sake = no bueno. Pretty picture tho...
How did we go from this;
"All these mountain bike trails are really hard on the environment. High long term impact because they weren't well thought out."
to this;
"Get me a track hoe and I'll plot this thing out like a toll road, keep it smooth with enough room to pass, make sure the grade is never greater than 11%, you'll be able to see it from a jetliner."
However many are in a shit ton.
Not all engineered trail is bad. Engineering all trails is bad. Engineering bad trails.....that's sad. It makes me mad. I'm glad my backyard flow trail is rad. As a dad, my son loves the berms and airs that it has. That said, his favorite trail is our local old school hand made single track with all its roots rocks and chundery slate quarry features.
