Except that you should insert the left side ring before you tighten the right side, but not insert it so much that the BB bottoms out at tightening, then tighten the left. And if they're chasing the threads why not spend a minute to face the shell also? It's a matter of seconds to put on the facing cutters and continue when the threads have been chased. It's pretty easy to remove paint in the BB threads which in practice is what they're doing in the video, but I personally would really appreciate the shell being faced since it takes a specialized and expensive tool to do that. It's so little more work, but a huge quality gain. I don't get it. Johan Larsson, Sweden -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
