I have a pair of Nike Poggios that I had purchased online. It is paired with a set of Look KEO Sprint pedals w/ Grey cleats.
As i went to install the cleats on the shoe, I noticed the front thread hole for the cleat bolt doesn't have a thread at all! Just a smooth hole. All the others have a threaded insert. Now by looking at it, it doesn't seem to be the sellers fault as it looks like it came from the factory.
I am currently serving overseas and mail tends to take weeks on end to actually get here and I do not want the hassle of downtime without my shoes. Can i use a tap & die set to actually tap some new threads in? My concern is that the enitre sole is carbon fiber. Has this been done before ? Will a shoe expert be able to do this ? Or will bike shop be able to do it ?
Any help will be gratefull appreciated.
