I think I almost fucking died today because of this bottom bracket. The NDS was unscrewing itself and I didn't notice. I was coming down a hill and when I get to the bottom I jump off the bike to take in the view. Not two steps later, my cranks completely seize up. The left side of the BB had unscrewed so much that it pushed against the left crank and caused it to lock in place. If that had happen 10 seconds earlier while I was going down that hill I'm pretty sure I'd be dead now.
I'm certain it's because I didn't torque it enough on the left side but any more and the spindle would seize. I think I'm done with Miche at this point.
