Thanks much guys. These are all great insights.
I'm not planning on becoming a bike flipper anytime soon, but I am fixing up some bikes for my kids to use. You've made me realize that there are no shortcuts where safety is concerned. I haven't pulled a bottom bracket or headset in about twenty years, but I still have all the tools and remember how to do it. Looks like I'll be getting some practice real soon.
Thanks again for your input.
