ok so something which is really pissing me off:

Can I / Shall I chop a threaded steerer??

also, im running Sugino 75 BB and the driveside cup keeps working lose after like 10 miles even though im tightening it like a strongman!! had two other BB's in the frame and both seemed to fit nice and tight, the 75 feels so loose on thread in - cup knackered?

cup knackered?

Possibly it's the bb shell threading that's knackered.

These exist and will work in damaged frames. JIS taper though – running ISO cranks on JIS taper is a can of worms although I think it's possible.

Weird how the other 2 BB's I've had in there have been tight like a tiger - I've thought of just perhaps using some simple PTFE tape as used in plumbing when there's loose threads to fill the gap?
