this has also happened to me. twice. first time, i thought maybe the bb shell wasn't properly machined, so I had the threads chased and made sure that would no longer be an issue.
the second time I detected premature wear (same bike/bb shell), the advice I got regarding installation was to tighten the cups down as one normally would, then back them off 1/8 of a turn - this kind of confirms Jim's suspicion about a "too tight" installation. in any event, there's no doubt that they are great bb's when installed just right. but it has to be *just* right. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
