I have a puzzling problem. I'm building a single speed Clementine for myself, and for chain line reasons I need to use a 131mm BB (with an ISO taper to accommodate a Paul crank I have available). Harris Cyclery had a Phil BB that fit the bill.
Here's the puzzle: I took out the Shimano 110mm BB that had been installed by Riv and tried to install the Phil, but the cups won't screw into the BB shell, on either side. I checked to make sure the cups were British thread; that's what I ordered, but to be sure I got a second set of British Phil BB cups from the parts bin, and they won't go in either. Just to check further, I reinstalled the original Shimano BB; no problem at all. Went right in. I'm not reversing the cups -- each is going in (or I'm trying to put them in) the appropriate side, and I'm screwing them in in the correct direction. What am I missing? ________________________________ The sender of this email is a retired partner of Skadden Arps and is not performing legal service on behalf of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP & Affiliates.
