I see that the bottom bracket shell of an Italian threaded bike is larger than normal but that it holds no more balls than a regular bottom bracket. Unscrewing of the fixed cup is possibe whilst in use. So, just what... caused designers to use this sort of thing?

Why is it that some people simply can not reply on-topic to a simple question? When you're looking for good information and get off-topic replies it's very annoying.



You're a hypocrite. You're making an off-topic reply to your own thread.



Dan's comment was amusing and pertinent. Possibly not directly helpful

to your actual question, but it added something positive to the group.

It's bull**** when someone posts a simple request for pertinent data on a subject. No wonder so many former Usenet users have migrated to bicycling forums. Thank goodness for people like Andrew Muzi who still do reply with useful information to the topic posted.

Cheers
