Ok so Im finally finishing off & Tweaking my remaining Rickman after selling up almost everything & packing up this Old School Malarkey once & for all..
Decided to Fit a new Tange Sealed BB to her beauty to go with an amazing ag chrome Tioga Task Force Crank but I cant fit the lock nut on to the non drive side as there's just nowhere near enough thread for it to grip?
?
I've checked bb-cups bearings & everything else & it all looks fitted in correctly & snug as it should, so how can this be
Is it a common problem ?
I bought another bike about 3 years ago with 3 piece sugino CT-175 cranks fitted & now i see why it had sealed bearings on the drive side & a loose ball bearing on the opposing side..(must have been the only way to get it to fit but.
I'm guessing I'll just return it back to how it was now which is a shame :-(
Any ideas as to why these things don't bloody fit ?
