Mar 14, 2016 at 2:17 comment added Rider_X @Mσᶎ - How about "reverse threading"
Feb 13, 2016 at 14:30 comment added RoboKaren I honestly don't know. It might make a good question or community poll.
Feb 13, 2016 at 9:39 comment added Móż @RoboKaren so what is the term for putting a left hand threaded bolt into a right hand threaded nut, or vice versa? I have always used "cross threading" to mean "anything other than correctly threading", and wasn't even aware that there was a variety of terms for the various ways it could be done wrongly. Now I'm curious and hopefully can learn some new words.
Feb 12, 2016 at 21:12 comment added paparazzo @RoboKaren OK then that is how I use the term in regards to pedals and how I used it in my (limited) answer. I think you introduce this helicoil thing a little premature so wanted to give the OP more guidance.
Feb 12, 2016 at 21:03 comment added RoboKaren In this context it's confusing because the common usage is this: ericpetersautos.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/cross-thread.jpg
Feb 12, 2016 at 20:51 comment added paparazzo @RoboKaren That is how the term is commonly used in bicycle pedals.
Feb 12, 2016 at 20:47 comment added RoboKaren Putting the left pedal on the right hand crank really isn't cross-threading as the term is commonly used.
