dezmtber Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 i am currently riding xc, 4x and skate parks. but really wanna get back into mod trials. just need to get my fitness back before i start out again i have been doing a lot of xc rides over the roaches near leek. it gives me a good run over the rocks and keeps me in touch with my trials back ground. i have been fixing bikes in local shops for 6 years now and have nvq level 3 bike quaifications. and have a very straight forward approch to engineering, so i like to think out of the box too often as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casualjoe Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 (edited) Hey Dez, I've got a real big problem with the BB threads on a spare frame.. there isn't any they've been almost totally stripped. As you're so kindly offering, what do you think are my options when it comes to saving a lovely old frame? Cheers.

MadManMike Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Welcome to the forum dude Although I don't do it as a profession, there's something quite therapeutic about tinkering with bikes isn't there? Apart from when you get a stubborn part that won't budge, then it's the opposite and I end up getting pissed off and leaving it half done haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers. there are threadless bottom brackets avalable for such a problem. threadless bb or if you can find a helicoil to fit you can do that and run regular bb again Welcome to the forum dude Although I don't do it as a profession, there's something quite therapeutic about tinkering with bikes isn't there?
