If you strip your toe stop threads and don’t hav

If you strip your toe stop threads and don’t have the $$$ or patience to replace your plate, you have a couple options. You can replace the toe stop insert (but parts are sometimes tricky to find), or you can tap new toe stop threads.

To complete the fix, you need a 5/8” 18 NF tap (for imperial toe stops). For metric, I believe you will need a M16 x 1.5 tap, but double-check that with your plate manufacturer (Typical metric plates include Roll Line and Moxi Rainbow Rider).

This isn’t necessarily a common issue, but if you don’t have a local skate shop to do the repair and/or have a lot of skaters in your community, purchasing a tap and handle is a good investment for your tool kit. The good news is you can reduce the risk of stripping your toe stop threads by making sure your stops have a good amount of the stem screwed in. I like to have them at about a 1/2” minimum. You can also avoid this by taking your time when you line up the toe stop stem to the plate threads, to avoid cross-threading, and adding lubricant (I use a heavy grease) to ensure smooth turning when the threads catch.

Hope this helps! Happy fixing!
