Just fitting the chainset. Driveside BB went in no probs. Non driveside seemed OK until about 3/4 of the way in I encountered a lot of resistance. Backed it off and now the threads of the BB are mashed. So as a minimum it looks like I need to get the threads of the frame chased - hopefully it can be fixed.
Anyone recommend me an LBS in Greater Manchester that can do this work please?
Yikes! Hate fitting BB's for this very reason, hope you get it sorted.
is it new complain
complain because he fitted the BB badly?
If a bb won't go all the way in by hand (no tools) you have a major problem!
Chasing should solve and most bike shops will be able to sort!
Bad news 🙁 every ones new build nightmare...
My Pace 303 was the same. A handfull of swarf came out when the threads were cleared
18 Bikes to the rescue hopefully next week
Don't think I can blame On-One, the BB was used so might be to blame
Never had this problem before and fitted loads of BBs
or try cooksons, they chased and faced my road bike and are good for this kinda stuff
