So I was trying to put my DVO jade on my 2015 demo 8 and I guess I had cross threaded the bolt and trashed the threads inside the frame. Has this happened to anyone else, on a demo or even any other bike? If so what did you guys do to repair it!??

exactly only thing you can really do is tap them out. I stripped my cheap shimano hollow-tech octa link whateverthef on my old bike and had to cut off the cranks just to replace them and the bb. Nice shock by the way

Thank you! I was able to chase the threads out and clean them up and all is well! The bridge on it is a little bent thats why it went in crooked...but its all together and all good!
