The Var Tools Frame Taps Cantilever set is a professional-grade solution for restoring and preparing threaded holes on bicycle frames, especially around cantilever brake mounts and other critical attachment points. Designed for workshop use, these taps help clean, chase, and correct damaged or paint-clogged threads, ensuring that bolts and brake posts install smoothly and securely. By refreshing the threads rather than forcing hardware into misaligned or dirty holes, you reduce the risk of cross-threading, stripped mounts, or creaking components, and you make future maintenance faster and more predictable.
Ideal for mechanics and serious home enthusiasts, this Var frame tap tool is built to deliver precise, controlled cutting action in common bicycle frame materials. It is particularly useful after frame repainting, powder coating, or when working on older bikes where corrosion or dirt has compromised the threads. Using the correct tap helps align brake posts and accessories accurately, improving braking performance and overall safety. Compact and durable, it fits easily into a workshop tool kit and quickly becomes an essential item whenever you are assembling, overhauling, or restoring frames with cantilever brake mounts or similar threaded fittings.
