Muel Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Try plastering the BB in locktight and then screwing it in as far as possible, then leave it to set.It might work as bottom brackets don't have to be screwed in mega-tight.If this doesn't work then I suppose if it one of the T-PROs with a standard BB like mine, then you couls get it tapped to 1mm oversize and get the oversize T-PRO bb, but this would limit you to a square taper set up.Hope this helps.

Caleb Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 ring supercycles/get it helicoiled/clean the threads on bb and frame and try again.by any chance did you get the frame second hand not realising it had the smaller bb and try and put a normall bb in there?

Dan6061 Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 If you trust your BB enough to not break...at all, then get yourself some Araldite, and glue that mofo in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broomer Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 depending on the extent of it get it re tapped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Loctite will do f**k all...Was it one of the T-pros that had the wrong sized bb shell??I still have my frame that had that problem, only rode it for 2 hours haha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtisRider Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 if its got an oversize bb then your only hope is to get the bb shell reamed (not to be confused with riimed) and a steel insert put in, argos cycles do it and it used to be about 40quid, with postage charges on tophowever, you may as well buy another frame for that...dude why the feck did you buy a mangled frame? arggggh i told you not to bother with crap!another solution is to use a threadless bb, with has threads on the left cup and the body and tightens into the bb shell (should be ok if yours is 1mm oversize)-it has a taper both sides so it gets a nice tight fit, if you want one, i have a brand new 113 (i think) in my shed, and i can probably order a wider one if you wish catch me on msn buddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 He bought the frame off me for dirt cheap...Everyone knows what troubles i had with the BB shell... there is currently a BB araldited in there, it never moved for the nearly 2 years of me riding the frame... so if i was you ryan, id take the old one out, and clean the BB shell, then buy a new BB and araldite that in again...I warned you about it, and told you the frame isnt in good condition at all... so dont go complaining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 no complants atall mate i got the frame home today was very pleased the bb seems fine at the moment.Cheers mate. cool man cool.Like i sidehop it isnt in good condition, its been through its paces! but if you watch my vids, im a fairly smooth rider, so isnt too bad If the BB totally fookes (like it will soon...) then just twat the non drive side with a hammer, and it should just pop out... the other cup should screw out, cause it was only one side that stripped... you know, i was one of the first, if not, the first person to snap a T-pro bash off... lol i dunno how i done that! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The square taper is the same as that used in complete T-Pro bikes, so there shouldn't be any problem fitting square taper compatible trials cranks. cheer nafan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
