Bottom Bracket Shell Protruding
I've replaced and installed over 100 bottom brackets in my life, this my sound lame but I can get this one in.
When I thread in the drive side in all the way, I can seem to get the non drive cup in all the way without protruding significantly, this happenens when threading the non drive in first. Any suggestions?
