Carlperkins Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 got stripped bb threads in a frame, they are currently being tapped out by local bike shop but that may not work.. sooo.. if the threads are gone is there an alternative to buying a new frame? are there any BB's that would work without threads ie push in bearings etc??

BurlyBox Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 (edited) you can buy threadless BBs. dont know where from or if they will be trials specific. could be worth a try rather than having to buy a new frame though. EDIT: heres an example: threadless BB Edited May 28, 2011 by BurlyBox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azarathal Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Owch dude that's gotta suck hard :/ There are threadless BB's, unfortunately I don't have any links but I know they exist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurlyBox Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 btw dont go straight away and get the shimano one, i put it in there as an example, theres most probably better brands that do them that would be stronger than the shimano one.
