I had the same touble. I was told to stick the bearing cups in the freezer for a couple of hours, then take em out and you can push them in easy with just your hands. Worked a treat as no need for hammer or any tools
Hi just got a frame back from powder coating , but the bottom bracket cups won't fitas they powdered inside the bb Had a 4lb sledge hammer on it ( with a block of wood either side lol ) & nothing Any ideas ? Part from dont take it there again ta
I always use a dremel with a little sanding disc on it and get all the powder off the inside of the BB and headset cups where they fit If u don't and force the cups in it will crack the powder or chip it off making a mess . Same applies on painted frames Also grease the cups before fitting that helps aswell.
thats why i always send my stuff to SBD-dan really knows not only how to paint and powder but what goes where and how to prep it right,just a lot less hassle and in hindsight costs less in the end
thanks for the tips guys ill let you know how it pans outgonna do one of the above in the week , when got 5 mins or a couple of hrs lol
