Press in BB's in a track frame?

First of all, "I did do a search!" But what I found was a bit limited. Is it even possible to install a press in BB kit into a track frame? Most of you know my on going Threadless BB shell problems with my Zeus already. I'm still on the hunt for a proper way to solve this before I have to start looking for another frame. Any opinions or knowledge on the press in option?

You could also try and find a Mavic BB. The cups screw onto the bottom bracket, not the shell:

i have told him all this

And did he listen? Obviously not!

:)

nope, in one ear....................

Can you not get it reamed or re-threaded/threaded or whatever it's called?

Or if re-threading is impossible then insert some sort of threaded collar?

Just ideas

I have a friedn who tried to use a threadless BB on a track bike, kept coming out. He ended up having to superglue it in.

Super Gluing is pretty much what I have done so far. I am taking my bike to Bikefix next week. If they say it's hopeless then I will be shopping for another frame :(

Thread it, sleeve it.

honestly dude there are a few threadless bb's available that should work fine
If ur really having difficulty, cant be fucked il check it out for you
would hate to see a frame go to waste

I am definitely taking a look at the Mavic BB option. But the shortest spindle length is a 114 and I use a 110-111. Not sure if it will throw me off to much?

This is what I'm talking about. I want to know more about what your sayin!?

I think we all have.

What's the width of the shell?

I think I remember you saying it had been cut down.

You have to look at what standard square taper you need, you have ISO or JIS, not sure what the Mavic is but its certainly something to consider, you don't want to be splashing out on a new crank set as well. Also re. spindle length, I think you can actually alter the chain line by how far you screw in one side. May take a bit of experimentation.

Another threadless BB for your perusal.

Hey arram - hows Espana?

This looks like it could be worth a shot.
