Okay,

I have been eyeing Italian frames, and love the heritage and the paintwork, but i finally found out what is different about their bottom brackets.

Originally i thought that the thread was a different pitch and they were just a tad wider, but the big deal is that they are threaded the same on both sides

that means that on one side the pressure of cranking the pedals when riding will try to loosen the BB cup!!!

So, is this a big deal or something where if the cup is installed properly it will never come loose.

If so, what is properly, torqued? red locktite? teflon pipe tape? grease?

Basically it is an OBVIOUSLY inferior design and I don't want to spend all my coin on a new frame to end up futzing with a BB that wont stay tight. So, will i regret it or is it a non-issue?

thanks,

Steve
