shovel Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 got my new isis middleburn pro trials cranks/bashguard today as an upgrade from my square taper raceface turbines the plastic cup on the non-driveside of my bb was really stiff to get out, once i got it out i noticed that there was a flatspot in my bb shell which had come from an impact on the underside of the frame (toxsin #1 by the way) and the plastic cup was cracked because of this my new truvative bb won't go in at all, the flat bit isn't massively big but enough to stop any bb getting in has anyone done this to there bike before, if so do you know if its repairable at all, also would it be covered by warranty at all, i know it probably won't be but what do you guys think, i only got the frame at the start of june any help/advise would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials Punk Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Won't be covered on warrenty, they may discount you a new frame though. Best bet try and hit it out with something firm yet soft enough not to kill the threads, thats if you can though. Or instead of hitting out try and lever out using a welded area as support for the lever, yet again with something soft. Not sure what else you could do. It may work but chances ain't high, but always worth a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawnmowerman Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 You could try heating it up then try threading a metal cup into the frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotchDave Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 If you can get the flat spot out enough to get the thread tap in your sorted. :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trials Punk Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 And if you mess it all up, got to a hardware store, purchase some araldite glue her up hammer her in and leave it dry. MINT. Never get it out though but meh thats what I'd do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
