@kboy
so i seem to have a similar issue
just installed a brand new veloce bb in a surly pacer. drive side goes in really easy but the non drive side cup is a bit tougher. screws in until there's a bout 1-2mm left between bb shell and the cup and then there's no way i can scew it in more, don't want to give it more welly and risk stripping the threads. I'd say i've applied plenty enough force.
anyhow, is it ok to ride with a bb where the non drive side cup isn't flush with the frame? Should i take the frame to my LBS to get the bb threads cleaned up?
