A while ago, I cleaned out the bottom bracket on my Columbus steel framed Ciocc, then attempted to put everything back. Impatience got the better of me and, while I was screwing in the non drive-side cup, metal started sheering off. Honestly, I unscrewed and then rescrewed the thing in fucking hundreds of times and it just wouldn't go in right. Eventually, I got the thing in with some pretty forceful wrenching, but there's no way on earth that hasn't knackered the thread (though it still works fine despite my bodging it).
My questions are, am I going to need to get it re-faced when I eventually change the bottom bracket? Have I knackered it beyond repair? And if I can get it sorted, is it worth it or will I be charged more than the frame's worth?
Ta.
