 | Where did I go wrong? ok i'm confused, are bb shells a standard width? are bb a standard width? if i know my bb is iso square taper as are my sugino 75s, and my bb shell is british and my cups are british, i would it all have worked together. and it did. but not perfectly. the locktite didn't hold and the bb moved some mm's to the drive side. when previously i could see threads on both sides i could only see it on the drive side now. so apparently the bb is 73mm and the bmw bb shell is 68. |

 | faaaaark - looks like total cycling fucked up. should have probably got it checked by a mechanic though when you saw 14 miles of spare bb thread either side - not sure how they'll respond when you complain after 5months of riding it..... i'd have a bloody good go though. |
