right is right, left is left. pretty standard really. though with BB'sthey are always stubborn or trouble some in one way or another. got a new external bb to replace the collapsed one on mtb, finger tightened it as a mate had my tool for torquing them in.
Weeks later picked the bike out of the heap again and rode for a day, got back home with slight crank clonk, yeah, drive side external BB cup had come loose and perfectly polished my frames BB thread to a nice baby smooth finish.
epic BB thread frame fail.
also just returned home from london, done 80-90 miles on an overloaded 70s rat bike, both wheels left home perfect, after most of london rear had a slight out of true and round syndrome, not 50m from home just coasting to a halt, snap snap snap, flick flick flcik flick. ARHGHGH My legs.. arhghghgh
2 spokes snapped and thrashed away at my legs whilst coming to a halt.
amazing that things break in that way, just metres from home.
