ISIS BBs are not fit for purpose.

Ok.

I finally got a good look at my bottom bracket.

There is no threading inside the tube in the bottom.
There is threading on the axle.

What type of bottom bracket is that?

"Ashtabula" one piece crank.

And I destroyed it...STUPID STUPID STUPID!

I'd take it to your local bike shop, and get them to explain/do it.

^^^^^^^^^^This.

Nothing wrong with learning from a good mechanic, then doing the repeat work all by yourself?

pretty sure CRC had something like that, it slots in rather than screws, then a normal BB goes inside it.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
