Having just had my frame powder coated I am having real difficulty reinstalling the BB. The shell seems to have deformed slightly - I assume as a result of the oven heat. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it a common problem following coating and if so should frames not be chased and faced as standard by the people who do the coating (since a bike is coated with the intention of rebuilding it)? Also does anyone have an idea of how much this service normally costs? (A tapping/ facing tool seems to cost over £400)
Much appreciate any help/ advice.
