Your referring to my frame  But, I had carefully ground out the 40mm bottom bracket to 42mm -- however, it wasn't as precise as using a lathe, and yes, it causes the bearings to prematurely fail! I'll post more on this later. Bottom line: Only use a KH frame, and don't tighten the bearings too tight. corbin -- corbin http://www.corbinstreehouse.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ corbin's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/7561 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/48304 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com |
