one of the holes to screw in spikes on my nike forever xcs is sort of worn down on the top and i can't put a spike in it. any ideas on how to fix this.
it was kind of annoying this morning when i got to the race and realized i could only put 3 of the 4 spikes in.
anyone?
Give it a little foreplay and perhaps some lubricant.

hmm ill trying doing it my room. maybe it was just to shy in the middle of a field next to all my teammates
All amusing answers but probably not helpful.
If you have access to a metal working shop, or maybe a friend with a lot of tools, try to borrow a "tap," which is a device used to create or repair screw threads. With a little luck and the right-sized tap, you can probably repair your shoe.
Be careful with the "pitch" because even if the tap is the right size, it might have the wrong pitch.
Test, and test again.
Could work!
yes, i might have to search a bit but i believe i have a metal workshop in my basement. i'll report back when i find it
can't tell if you're being sarcastic -- i think you are. can't blame you.
it's my fault for making it sound more difficult than it really is. a tap is a totally simple tool that looks a lot like a drill bit.
i should have said that a set of taps is an easy thing to find at any home depot or likely even your neighborhood hardware store. it's a really common thing. i haven't bought a set for years but i'd be surprised if it costs you more than $10 or $15.
obviously you have to scale the cost against the headaches and even the cost of a new pair of shoes.
posted too soon.
look, think of it like this: any business that takes metal things apart and screws them back together again is going to have taps, because they're likely to strip threads every so often, and they're likely to get customers who have stripped threads themselves. And a place like that is probably is also going to have somebody on duty who, if you ask nicely, will do it for you. If you know how to do it, it's a 1 minute job after you find the right tap.
small engine repair places, bicycle shops, auto repair place, maybe someplace in your high school if you're in HS. If you're in college, there are going to be little workshop/labs where somebody's got what you need.
Just buy some new spikes, use the old ones for practice or something.
I'm pretty sure Nike has a pretty solid return/replacement policy. I say send them back.
had an accident today. had to go really bad during my workout and had to use my shoe as a capture mechanism. looks like i'll be buying new spikes.
