ding_dong Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 do you have your old BB? If you do then try putting that back in and its it goes in ok then you have your answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 Get an old cup and screw it in gently, if theres a great deal of friction between the two, then chances are theyll screw up your new BB when you put it inIf the dent has removed a bit of the thread, it shouldn't be too bad. But if the dent has caused like a crater (with some of the thread coming out and over the top of the hole) its probably best to pick it off with something softer than the metal i.e. your fingers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashley Smith Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Take the frame to your local bike shop and get them to run the tap through the bottom bracket just to be safe, the last thing you want to do is strip the threads trying to force a bottom bracket inash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
