kid creole Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Ive cracked my frame and might get a frame from my mate but the threads in the bottom bracket is cross threaded and possibly striped cause hes sort of force a bottom bracket in there. just wondering if its possible to fix the threads?i would use the BB that's in there already but it don't clear my freewheel.

Adam-Griffin Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Only methods i've heard of are putting a coke can in there and chasing the threadsa on it and locktighting a BB in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex@Flawless Bikes Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Try retapping the treads, but you best bet is a treadless bb, my mate used on in his t-pro and work great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVWOCI WVS Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 take the frame to your lbs (not halfords bcause they'll only make it worse) and ask them to chase out your bottom bracket threads, this will probably be enough to use a normal bb, works suprisingly well if it's done properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
