MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
The threads on my BB are no more so I've marked up space on the wall for my favourite ever frame. 🙁
Then I'm told there is such a thing as a threadless BB! Can I bring it back from the dead? What do I need to know? Has anybody tried one of these?
Or is my mate having me on?
You can also have a threaded insert made up and fitted to the frame - or the BB area built up with weld and the BB remachined and tapped
Threadless bbs are available just google for them - for example

Cheers TJ. That's about all I could find.
As a rough figure how much is the first option likely to cost?
I don't know but it will not be cheap - try one of the frame builders/ repairers.
Argos charge £65 for reaming and putting a sleeve in a frame.

I believe the [url= http://www.kinetics.org.uk/html/mountain_drive.shtml ]Schlumpf Mountain Drive[/url] doesn't require BB threads, either.
Not a cheap option, though...
Argos option looks good. Thanks.
I've seen a few frames with sleeved bb shells from argos, and the job is top notch! Highly recommended!
VeloSolo do threadless BB's as well - at the bottom of [url= http://www.velosolo.co.uk/shopchain.html ]this[/url] page...
