If you don't, the driveside cup will have a tendency to screw itself further into the frame.
Thanks for the back, heh. How's PA treating you?
btw we have a Sprint Club in the works here in the 'nati. we meet every sunday and race our track bikes down at Longworth. PM me your email and i'll put you on the list if you would like....
We settled on teflon tape and grease for the installation. This BB is going into a single speed bike, not a fixed gear. I figured there will be a lot less strain on the cups without the added backpressure of a fixed setup..any thoughts?
Interestingly, Phil bb's are installed using only the locking compound that they include with the kit (as per instructions). They also have floating cups similar to the miche setup. thoughts on this?
