Thanks, Herb Dear Herb, Get in touch with Andrew Muzi at www.yellowjersey.org. Andrew is switching to a new ISP, so he's too busy to post on RBT right now, but he may know the answer to your question. Cheers, Carl Fogel |

Thanks, Herb Depends on how beloved the frame is BUT..I have run a english tap thru an old frame with Swiss threading and then used a english BB. My Sutherlands is at work but French is 'italian type' threading and Swiss is 'english type', referring to the cup direction..so ya 'may' try it. |

Usually the spindle and balls go long before the cups. If the cups can be saved, then just replace the balls & spindle. The balls are standard 1/4" and the spindle for this unit has the same dimensions as English threaded BBs. BTW: the left cup on this is the same as a French-threaded unit, which will be more common than Swiss. So the only really rare part of your bottom bracket is the drive-side cup. |

I had the same notion, which evoked dismissive responses from several mechanics. Where can I buy those two English taps? Recommended brands? Thanks, Herb P.S. What is a "Sutherlands"? |

The drive-side cup is not only pitted; it is fractured through 50% of the circumference. Balls are missing, and pitting is pervasive. The "really rare part" is also the most kaputt. Thanks, Herb |
