That's pretty nasty stuff to find after a purchase.

I bought a MTB frameset that requires a 26.2 ( [MENTION=73614]rhm[/MENTION]). Nothun' else fits.

Same frameset, the BB felt terrible, opened it and found the NDS bearings were in backwards. Working on the headset, danged if I didnt find the same.
