my frame build-up writeup

Looks like you did a pretty good job here, Dave.

I noticed one thing in the text that I wondered about:- "Then I stuck in the bottom bracket and
screwed it in, making sure to remember that the right side is right-hand threaded. Then I put in the
other side. I knew what size bottom bracket to use because I "

Are you sure that wasn't a LEFT hand thread?

You really did a good job with the photos, too.

In the search for the proper fitting bike I built up my third frame this weekend. It went pretty
smoothly, but the first couple times I did it went slow, and I could have used some kind of guide
from the internet. So I used the digital camera to photograph everything, and put a writeup at

I got all the info I needed on individual components from Zinn and the Art of Mountain Bike
Maintenance, but there was no document talking about how to put it all together.

SOLID man.. Makes me wish I was building a bike right now!! 🙂 The best thing about building a bike
like that from the ground up is that YOU know exactly how it went together. You know that you
greased what needs to be greased, and tightened what needs to be tightened. You can really put a lot
of extra love into the bike that some shops just wouldn't bother to
do..

Well, it was on the right-hand side of the bike, so I figured it was right-hand thread. No, you both
are correct and I have updated the web page. Thanks for spotting that.

Hi, although I'm a road bike guy, I found your write up to be informative and very well done.
Thank you, Jeff

Ahh yes, had a very similar experience about this time last year, I kept a journal about it but
didn't have a digicam to make a nice web page like you did... nice job. BUT I think you got the part
about the pedal threads wrong also. Left pedal is reverse threaded.
