In trouble with BB threads.

Hi all. Need help with bottom bracket problem.
My situation is that my bike has bb shell with english threads (1.37x24) but with right hand direction on the both side (as Italian). In it was bracket Shimano bb cs-11 JIS. Wich has plastic cap on right side and itself bb from the left side.
Is there any alternative today to replace it? or maybe there is bb with removable caps and with same diameter caps on the both side to make both RH?

Get a Phil Wood BB and two sets of English cups.

Thank you for responding.
Checked it and it is too expensive for me. Sure that quality is high but can't pay such amount of money now. ((

I've had luck with the Sunlite threadless BB units. In my case I was making fixies out of old Raleigh 3-speeds, and I wanted to get rid of the cottered cranks, so I shaved the shell from 72-ish to 68 mm and then used the Sunlite BB.

Thank you for attention. What do you think about to cut the threads on it? and is there only 68mm option?

Not clear on cutting the threads -- with the threadless BB it doesn't matter what the threads are (forward/reverse or stripped). Many different spindle lengths available, but pretty much all BB shells will be 68 mm.

Aha. I got it but i don't want to shave the threads from the bb shell. Thanks for help. If will not find solution with threaded bb, then will get this one.

You don’t need to shave any threads from the bottom bracket shell if you use the threadless version.

The "threadless" BB in question is not press-fit, it just doesn't use the threads.

You do not need to shave your shell.
