If you are thinking of doing the same thing, apply a thin layer of grease before you tape the sleeve. That grease acts as a "glue". Then apply generous amount of grease after you finish taping. You might find the the sleeve OD and BB ID have a tight gap, I used a heat *** to expand the BB ID. Focus on the BB installation. Tap it gently with rubber mallet. Once it is in place, this BB must not turn, or else it might damage the tape. Undoing your hard work... Hope this helps.

The bike looks great though. Interesting find with the Teflon tape. I've thought about making the switch over to a Shimano crank. I planned on using the Praxis BB converter.
