Jagger Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 I have a Ultimate Version Planet Ocean. The threads on my screw down crown are completely stripped! Can this be fixed? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jagger Posted September 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Chronic problem with these. You need to replace it. Sorry if there's an obvious answer to this question but which parts do I exactly need to replace? Is it just the crown? Do you know if the original omega crown will fit this rep? Thanks again!

tanya Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Best bet is to replace them with gen parts from otto frei. Once done you will never have to replace them again. You will need a gen crown, Prob a new stem, and a new gen crowntube as the gen crown won't mate with a rep tube. You will need a qualified modder to tap out the old tube and insert the new parts. These gen parts are pretty cheap and the mod is also a quicky for someone who knows their stuff like The Zigmeister or Rex Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My fellow replaced those parts with generic on my SMP chrono when the threads stripped. I'm only guessing, of course, but I would imagine he could do the same for this one. Good luck with whichever route you decide to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
