No bike shop has a workshop slot for ages. My lh BB cup has gone on a couple of turns cross-threaded and I backed it out but now it won't start properly! aaagh! I need my bike building up this week.

I do.

I'm near Stonehaven but you're welcome to use mine or I think the Ecurie Neep guys might have one - they have a bunch of club tools.

Sure that we don't have one, try the bike station at Inverurie.

Is it the frame thread or the cup thread that has gone?

I don't think they have one of those. Bruneep would know.

OK wasn't sure what club tools the neeps had.

No matter, I have one anyway so Deveron53 is welcome to pop by and use it in the workshop if he wishes.

Thanks Namastebuzz. Unfortunately I am carless as well at the moment!

Trail Rat, I'm in a flat in George St area, once my car arrives I can get out on the trails. Eventually, I'll get a house on the North side, once Mrs D moves up as well.

I've got the frame booked into Alpine bikes on Sat, just have to be patient I suppose. It's just got the first two threads in the frame a bit chewed, they'll chase, face and fit the cups for £20. I've got Race Face deep DH BB so probably safer to get it professionally done. Deep cups on old frame a bit 'resistant'. Went in easily on my brand new Nukeproof even with my cheapo BB driver.

I'm keeping myself busy tho, took a bus to Balmedie today and walked all the way back to Donmouth - legs are knacked! Saw a half-eaten baby Orca washed up on the beach.
