if i remember correctly, i was told that there's a good chance that my threading might have already been off-axis to the crank-shaft, facing the BB would still maintain that off-axis problem - which doesn't solve the problem. worse still, assuming the off-axis threading, it could end up having my threads will be eaten up once tapping is attempted. best solution, when i came to either likelihood - was to get the SABB.

i've learnt to not hurry and get a bike set up in the future....
