Yes and No. One side is, one isn't - I forget which and my head hurts too much to work it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forteh Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Drive side is right hand thread, non drive side is left hand thread. The forward pedalling motion acts to tighten the bottom bracket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ross87 Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 If my memory serves me correct it is the non-drive side that is a reverse thread. Give it a quick google and see what comes up. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
