So, I screwed the threads on an otherwise good set of BB cups and might have damaged a new scandium frame. I am a fool. Taking the frame back to CS to hopefully have them install new cups after chasing and facing.
Those frames usually come prepped. As long as you didn't force it in too far, it should be fine. Patience young grasshopper...patience.
I am off on my mini winter vacation to the Muskokas and yes I am bringing a bike. Just realized the other day that this will be the biggest chunk of time off I have had since I broke my back 5 years ago. GOOD TIMES! Happy New Year to all the B.F. peeps.
