Some bstard has managed to thread two of the "studs" on my front wheel, only found out yesterday when i went to replace the tyres, does anyone have any suggestions as to how i can sort this out?

dunno if studs is the right term, my dad seems to think so, its what the bolts screw into if that makes more sense,

cheers guys!

Its called the hub. The bit that has the 4 holes in, the back of your wheel sits to it, and the bolts go through the wheels into the hub?
If thats th bit, its a hub.
Probably have to get a hub, try a scrappers.
