cos i didnt reply to pm sorry JD i was a naughty boy

i replaced the cap head bolts on my phils with some nice stainles bolts they now work a treat, the allen head fitting is very bad at high torque applications especially small sizes.

i actually would buy this.

^ i know all this, BSA is 1.37" = 34.798mm x 24tpi, Italian is 36mm x 24tpi in metric 36mm x approx 0.9449mm, the soveit thread is 36mm x 1mm.
I built one up the other day chased the threads with my phil italian cups and hey presto it works perfect. I knew when i bought it that it wasnt going to be standard.
its not French or Swiss which are pure metric.
its a special ruski thread.

^I know it doesnt bother me but other peeps might have trouble when it comes bo buliding up is all, i dont want to piss anyone off. wasnt BSA thou.

^the one i had was a specific thread 36x1mm thread on bb which a italian bb will fit in if you retap.

^PM dibs?^

jokes if you worried about trashing a Sugino 75 bb get a sealed Phil.

i will check my stock today and let you know.

nice one. think I'm gonna strip what's left of the paint and clear coat it. Not sure yet. Sick frame though! Thought it would be really springy but it seems real stiff. Want to get a straight fork.

i know its really stiff, let me look at my steel stock you want some like this?
