Hey Chaps,
My Hope BB was a bit tight coming out of a BB shell, and screwing it back into another frame it feels very grindy. Is there a way to recut the thread on the BB itself? I'm not meaning the BB shell in the frame, the threads attached to the Hope BB.
Cheers!

It's amazing how even a small amount of grit in the threads can cause what you mention. Are you sure it's not that?
I've taken my time before, running a knife along the thread wrapped in WD40'ed tissue paper to gently clean the threads out..probably faster ways out there though!
Steel frame? Just give it a half turn in, quarter out and repeat.
It's not any grit unfortunately, gave it a good clean with IPA and a rag.
I've got a steel frame to do that on! It'll be a carbon frame with bonded BB shell its going in to though.
I can give the Stanley knife chasing a go.
