Hi,

I'm looking to fit a yet to be purchased Acor or YST threadless bottom bracket in to an old frame which has stripped threads in the shell. If anyone has fitted one of these before will I need two bottom bracket tools, ie to stop the thing rotating on one side whilst tightening it on the other side, if that makes sense?

Cheers, idk

    yes, best with two BB tools; plus use thread lock on the threaded part of the shell and leave it a few days to harden off
    Recipe: shave legs sparingly, rub in embrocation and drizzle with freshly squeezed baby oil.
