Bearded Midget Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 (edited) the chances that anyone else had the same problem are less than slim seeing as not many people own dobs. but, my try-all bb doesnt fit into my dob due to a little notch like thing that sticks up about 1mm inside the dob bb area. on the try-all bb, it has a notch going all the way round to give it support once its on the right side when you push it through the bb hole. ive given it to the bike shop and there gunnu try machine/file something and make it fit. just wondered if anyone else had this? or is it a just a gay faulty frame? my ozna bb fitted fine because it had no notch which is kinda gay. in any case it is gettin sorted so im not askin how to make it fit. just wonderin if anyone else had the same problem?

Dan@Trials-uk Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 The DOB seem to have much smaller BB shell's and the Try-All BB just catch's on the center part of the BB shell where the thread ends in the shell. The only BB's we manage to use is KO-ISIS and VIZ ISIS BB's. If you want me to check any other BB's for you please let me know:) Thanks, Dan@Trials-uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearded Midget Posted June 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 wish i did my research before i baught one, just assumed it would fit as most bbs do with most bikes. ah well, i'll just have to hope joe in autoparts can file something down inside the bb area to make it fit. only needs like half a mm off.
