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.
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.
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
> Quote text by starting lines with >
Mention another user by @username
For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:
```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
