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?

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?

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 do not need to shave your shell.
