Bottom bracket woes

Posted on
  • After an accident the thread in my BB was stripped and cannot be repaired. What are my options? Ive read about threadless BB's but are these suitable for a brakeless bike? Can the BB threads be replaced? It's a Cinelli Vigorelli frame that i've had for a while. It's not pretty but does have quite a lot of sentimental value.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Argos at Bristol (and other framebuilders) can bore out the shell, re-sleeve and re-cut new threads, depends on frame value to you for cost of work.
    Although without checking i am not 100% sure if this done with Alu frames.
    But options are out there.

  • A good threadless BB should be fine.
