stunt man t Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 just fitted my new bb i put it in correctly, i think ( put the non-drive side in first then the drive side after) every thing was fine but the non-drive side looked like it could do with being a bit further in, so i screwed the drive side out abit and screw the non-drive side in abit and now when i screw the drive side in it wont budge? is it cross threaded or should i force it in? it was brand new so the thread locker might of set which is making it dificult.. but i dont want to force it and breake the bb or the frame what should i do? thanks for youre help, allways appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIGAN Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 if its a square taper bb then the driveside (i think its the driveside, the one side with the flange on) then that flange just goes tight upto the frame and then the other side just tightens too the bb, if its an isis then it'l be flanged on both sides, just do the driveside tight to the frame and if the non driveside is sticking past when its tight then it needs a spacer too fit.

Mark W Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Some BBs do just stick out a little on the non-drive side. It's not a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
