Chasing BB threads

Hey guys,

Can anyone recommend a Cambridge cycling shop for chasing BB threads? Ben Hayward would be my first guess but they will be £££. Please don't say halfords!

Thanks

Yep Bicycle Ambulance are good, but probs can't do italian right now as it broke in my frame...
Ben hayward are massively jaded by the numbers of clueless students who buy horrid bikes from them / take in bikes to get fixed, I quite like the Light Blue Cycle center on Chesterton rd too

+1 to the Ben Hayward comment.

Last time I was in there, the woman who (co-)runs it was in despair as someone bought a horrid BlobbyWeld(tm) aluminium shopper rather than paying the extra £50 for a Pashley that might have outlived them.

Or visit the Newport Bike Man, he didn't want to charge eddie for rebuilding his rear wheel hub for him on our ride today. He will be getting my custom far more often now!

So the answer to my exhaustive enquiries is:

• Ben Hayward £10 (+ £5 extra to face it)
  
• Bicyle ambulance £10
  
• Light blue centre £20 (don't I'll be going there!)
  
  

By Newport bike man do you mean Newport Gwent?

Newport in Essex, he isn't au fait with modern day things like websites and blogs, although he can be contacted on 01799 540363. You'll have to factor in train/car to his garage though, so may not be what you're after.

You can make your own thread chasing tool out of some old cups with good threads by carefully cutting a groove across the threads with an angle grinder and bolting or welding a long coach bolt to make a handle to turn into the threads .I haven't done it myself but apparently its an old tip from the days when people make their own tools .
