The Angry Thread.

If it makes you feel any better, I went to Interparcel.com to see if I could find cheaper postage prices for you (which I did, but only a bit) and consequently, thanks to the weird way online advertising works, all the side-bar banner ads on websites I go on seem to just be about Interparcel now. It's a nice change from seeing endless streams of Vans Atwood shoes in fairness.

Came back from JAF bikes like it :(

Same thing happened to Jacks sky 2 head tube, he reckon'd jaf clamped it and it ovalized it. Still managed to get a headset in at a push though, but jaf would have nothing to do with it.

Is there a chance it was like that before? The frame was already in a bit of a battered state with all the cracks and it'd explain why the BB was fooked in the first place?

My old XC frame was the same and I just had the shell tapped and faced.

Pretty shocked if that did happen at Jaf. More likely to have happened in the post surely?

I don't believe the ovalised headtube story though. Why would they clamp it? It was probably oval already from riding it and the owner just didn't notice when he knocked the cups out.

No as it went with the BB in and had to be removed to be welded. Had a long think about it overnight and I do think it's happened in the post but that doesn't matter, the problem is still there and I should be out riding now but i'm not.

Is it the drive side or non drive side??

Non drive side

Sorry wan* at explaining.

When you get a BB it comes in 2 pieces. The whole solid BB and the plastic shitty part that is basically just a guide.

If you can, bish bash bosh the frame into a round as possible shape.. either tidy the threads if need be with a needle file or a tap.. and force the plastic side in.

If the drive side is 100% ok.. the frame will work.

try & use a copper hammer :)

The lad I'm working to at the next box down is a complete f*****g idiot, caused me enough mither yesterday with his lack of rulebook knowledge and today he's doing just as badly.

Had to get one of the managers to go down yesterday and just have a quiet word to make sure he was plugged in and I reckon it'll be the same today the way he's carrying on!

Had a few guys at work moaning about a fuel tanker blocking the walkway into work but I said it didn't bother me. Sods law the thing was there when I finished work today and blocked me in for an hour before I could leave!
