I assumed that this was designed so anyone could install it themselves, but I was wrong.
That lock-ring on the bottom bracket confused me. I've installed many BB's and none of them protruded enough to screw a lock-ring on it. And most cheap BB's have a plastic left cup so...
And they forgot another limitation - only square taper BB is compatible with this, cause there's no space on other types to install this.
I would call this idea - irresponsible design "if it kind of works, it's good enough."
