Default cutting new threads on hub


I'm not a machinist (yet?), but if you wanted to use a die you'd have to
go too small, I think. Try using a triangular needle file to clean up
the existing threads. That's what I do with the threads on bolts that I
have shortened. If this works you're all set. It's a cheaper solution,
too.
