I've been reading the thread currently going on about French bottom brackets. Very useful info there on replacement cups and the like.
I starting this so as not to hijack that thread. I have a question about my Astra BB.
I know or at least read that these are rebadged Motobecanes. So before I go tearing it apart I was wondering what the BB cups are thread wise. I have seen somewhere that some are Swiss and thus have a different rotation on the threading like lefty loosey or the other way around. I'm kind of confused.
Also would like to do the upgrade and have some great posters here help me in learning the right parts to use but wonder if the threading thing is gonna mess with me if it is backwards form normal.
Anyone can advise?
