Bar mirror fail
#1
#4
Assuming this is a bar end mirror - the handlebar weight has 2 parts. The inner part is number 8 on the diagram. It's only held in by tension, so when you removed the old bolt, it loosened off. When you ran the tap in, instead of cutting new threads, it rotated the inner weight
The solution would be to remove the tap (hopefully it hasn't jammed in there too hard) and run in using a correct 6mm bolt. If it tensions up, you'll be fine. If not, you'll have to replace the part, since there would be no way to hold the mirror in place without it
What was the rationale for using a larger bolt?
