After 13 years ownership of a Condor Squadra I have finally found the cause of a minute rattle and I need your advice on how to fix
The aluminium frame has inserts into the frame that contain the thread - it’s this insert that is slightly loose and even when the bottle cage allen key bolt is fully tightened there is a minuscule amount of play - hence the rattle !
I have previously repaired a striped rear mudguard eyelets with a helicoil kit that worked a dream
Question is I’m not sure the heli kit ( M5x0.8) will work with the insert as once the whole is drilled the insert will fall out and helicoil will be too small
What options do I have ?
