I have changed my mind. To make the brakes work I am going to need to machine longer bolts either way, so may as well make them nutted.

rear derailleur is silky smooth after a very light filing.

i test fitted the bottom bracket, and everything went together fine, but I do have about 5 threads sticking out of the beyond the lock ring on the adjustable side. Is this normal or do I have the wrong size bb?

thanks
