downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Like the name says, im looking for a threadless bottom bottom bracket that fits a mod (127.5) Iv looked at wiggle and they have stopped doing the 127.5's now, and only do smaller, and iv also tryed billys.co.uk and they only do the smaller ones. Do you know where i can get hold of one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you manage to strip it :'( ← Its a T-pro 05, it stripped itself, I dont know how though :lol: :( :P I was riding it one day and it came loose (asif it was going to come out my frome) so i took it out and it was nakered! Then once i put it in, i Had to take my crank off with a priser bar so i could tighten my freewheel and it fooked again Edited June 16, 2005 by terror-error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Why it's always as well to check your bike over so you can keep the BB tight and not ride with it loose or anything (and use crank extractors :lol:). Have you tried PTFE tape? PFTE maybe... summat like that, anyway. It sorta fills out the thread almost, so if you've got any thread left it *might* work... Alternatively, talk to Onza about maybe getting a half-price replacement? It won't be a free warranty job obviously 'cos it's basically your fault, not manufacturing defect, but it's better than nothing :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted June 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Well I heard about the T-pro 05 frame being faulty or something? Iv put one one layer of black insulation tape round the treads, its filt the gap quite well and it doesnt seam to move about, but im not too sure as when I used mt bottom bracket tool to tighten the bottom bracket, it just slips and doesnt tighten (just keeps turning inside the shell) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 If you broke the threads on your frame, deal with it. Don't blame Onza for something that you did ham-fistedly. However, I don't see why they wouldn't give you a half-price replacement. If you really must use that frame, I would be tempted to whack a lot of epoxy resin into the BB shall, and then sticking the BB in there. Should stay stuck for the life of the BB if you do it right, and then it's new frame time. I've not actually heard of anyone doing this though...

Just ride it as a temporary fix until you can afford a new frame. Don't want to ruin a good BB as well as a frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
