Well, this fix didn't last long. I had a Peugot of uncertain vintage come in the other day for service, and the BB was one of the items on the list. The spindle and cups were all toast, so I went looking for options. Needless to say, non of my regular lines of supply are any help with this one, and any solutions I could find on line were somewhat pricy, so I decided to go with a threadless cartridge,(one that just slips in the shell and the ends thread together.)
Seemed to work fine, but when the owner of the bike picked it up and rode it home, by the time he got there, the flange on the non drive side cup had broken completely off.
Is it possible I missed a step here? The inside of both flanges are conical, I presume to assure the cartridge is centered axially. Is the BB shell suposed to be chamfered to accept this cartridge?
Any and all advice appreciated.
