fitted please.

I ordered 2 NOS BB's from Ian and he says that they will not work due to the fat locking nut.

I have come across this statement:-

"on old Redline frames, the BB shell is actually a little narrower than almost any other frame. They designed the 401 axle in accordance with their frame dimensions. Sometimes you can use the Tioga with the nut on a Redline, but on any other frame, you have to go without the locknut and adjust it the way you would with a Techmatic BB. You may have to use a spacer to cover any exposed threads".

Is this correct? How do you run yours?

Cheers

It was fine on my Gen 1 Master, but this is a Hadley BB

& I'm pretty sure it was fine on this Gen 2 84 Master of mine too

But this one on my gen 2 84 Sport I did have to leave the lock nut off, but this is a Techmatic

Think I just used a Profile crank spacer

Lovely stuff ....I'm having BB issues at the mo'....I hope this thread might give me some help....I'd love a gold hadley but I'm guessing I've got more chance of winning the lottery two weeks on the bounce!

Are the suntour BBs for 401s equally as rare ?
