I had my frame powdercoated, and after specifically asking the bloke not to get it in the BB threads, hanger threads etc etc, he put paint everywhere!
Now i'm not complaining about this because he only charged me 20 quid 😆
However, when rebuilding it came to putting the BB cups in, and i figured just use some strength and it will chase the paint out of the threads… Needless to say it didnt. I've knackered the threads on my cups and hence booked the frame in to have the threads properly chased at my LBS.
Now my question is will i be ok to screw the knackered cups in? Or should i buy new cups? I dont want to go ruining my nice new clean threads if possible, but i also dont really want to shell out on new cups.
Your thoughts, advice and opinions please!
