<< < (2/3) > >>

selfpreservation:
i dont know what is right ? i think its right i unpacked the bb and inserted the bearings into the shells as they were in the box ie balls facing into the shells is that right ? , it spins well not loose or anything the locknut is fookin massive compared to any other ive seen , it is a mongoose one for early one piece mongoose cranks pre 81 , it clears the threads by more than 2mm if it was approx the depth of ordinary locknuts i have for different threads it woulod be fine i reckon

heres a pic of the massive locknut

Coastvl:
Something else must be up 'cause I use one of those Mongoose sets on my pre-pinch flites and it works perfectly. My BB set looks Identical to those in the ebay pic.

selfpreservation:
COULD IT BE THAT MY BB ON THE FRAME IS SLIGHTLY THINNER THAN MOST sorry for shouting i had flight 2s on it and had to file the spacer by a couple of mm
