Titanium bottom bracket replacement...specifically Merlin funky BB
I have a 1900-91ish Merlin with the press fit bottom bracket. Which has been fine for 20 plus years of riding. I don't find it a problem to beat out and replace the bearing every couple of seasons.
But I'd like to totally replace the BB with a threaded one. Does anyone have any experience with having that done? From what I can tell, there seems to be only a few bike builders who even want to deal with that. Or am I looking in the wrong places?
What are people's experiences with the bike after having that done?
