redline flites looseball question NOW WITH PICS

<< < (3/3)

selfpreservation:
ive installed them properly i knew i had anyway gonna have to skim the nut down i reckon  , the nut is fine with the redline one bb which is flatter than the mongoose one (it doesnt have the  the raised nut on the cone ect) , i reckon its just the supergoose bb is slightly thinner than others , i had to skim about 2-3 mm off the spacer when i installed my flight 2s on it as welll 

selfpreservation:
OK MY CAMERA IS CRAP CLOSE UP BUT HERE GOES





THE LOCKNuT IS STOPPING THE CRANKS FROM BUTTING UP CORRECTLY ive followed the installation instructions and the BB is spinning beautifully the cups are in correctly there is no play in the bb if i tighten anymore the cranks become stiff to turn i havent installed loosebal flights before but ive done loads of one piece and it seems correct to me , if i ues the original drive side cone it fits perfectly but because the mongoose bb has a raised nut instead of being slotted and therfore flat those extra couple of mm are stopping the crank from butting correctly onto the spline  :'(

oberonspacefruit:
have you got a spacer in?

selfpreservation:
you mean a top hat washer ? yeah but its on the other side on the crank side of the drive side cone so it has no effect on the near side but i have no other spacers installed its just too proud , if i had a 28tpi normal profile washer about 4mm  it would be fine its weird i think the bb on the supergoose is quite short cause i had new school flights on my old one and i had to cut the spacer down by 2-3 mm to fit then i put them on my new one and they fitted perfect
