In the unlikely event I can find a right hand Miche cup, I’ll clean and de-grease and use blue loctite. But odds are I am looking at replacing the whole BB at the very least.
even miche ended that shoulderless/lock ring-less BB... take that as a sign.
eventually, if you keep using that lousy designed BB, you will also damage your frame.
from what the images show,It already needs refaced.
there are several nice new BB options available.
i wouldn't include Miche in your shopping.
there's good reason they're now a "Hey, don't forget us!" status company
and the "new crankset" on their site is just plain UGLY.
it makes the latest DA/Ultegras look positively gorgeous.
