Campag bottom bracket torture

Soweto888 So I just wrap this Threadlock stuff around the cups and screw them in as normal?

Threadlock is a liquid - loctite B243 being the most common one for bikes. It's that blue blob you see on the threads of shimano parts.

You don't need to use P.T.F.E tape and loctite, choose one or the other, both will stop your cups from moving.

It seems improbable that one tape-covered thread would mesh with another, but I gather that's what you're all saying, so I'll take it on trust. :-)

P.T.F.E Teflon tape is incredibly thin/pliable/flexible/malleable it won't stop large threads such as BB threads - it may gather up as you screw the thing in, but thats fine, it's job is to fill out the tiny space between the shell and the cups (if there was no space the cups would not go in).

It is so thin that you can easily layer two or three layers and still screw the cups in without resistance, which is good because two or three layers is what I would recommend.

The bearing cages ARE definitely in the right way, although I admit that I had to think about that a lot before I decided on the correct orientation. Sheldon seems to be in favour of loose bearings. Alas, I don't always do what Sheldon says. Unfettered bearings just seemed like something else to add to my torment during assembly.

Put some grease on the races, put some grease on the bearings, stick 'em where you want them, they won't move.
