Focus Cayo 105 Ltd edition 2010 bottom bracket type?
I've got a focus Cayo 105 Ltd edition from 2010. I can't find any information on the web to say what sort of bottom bracket it needs. The crank set is an FSA gossamer and the bb was threaded (now removed and destroyed due to it getting stuck in the frame after 6 years....).
Does anyone know what bb type this frame takes? I've tried fitting a shimano ultegra 6800 bb and although the left hand side screws in fine the right hand side does not. This could be that the frame has been damaged by the shop that removed the bb or it could be that I'm using the wrong type of bb!

have you tried threading the BB in the opposite direction? (says on each cup the direction to turn, one is a reverse thread so turns to the left to tighten)0

The left hand side screwed in fine and the right hand side screws in about 1/3 of the way before getting stuck. The threads "look" ok but then it's not that easy to see if they really are ok or if I just think they are. I'm going to run it down to Evans at lunch time as they're closest and see if they have an opinion.<a><img></a>0

might need to get the threads chased then at your LBS - specialist tool to do this0
