So, my frame has arrived back from Bob Jackson, after a respray. I go to install the bottom bracket cups and they will not screw in. They go a third to half way in, by hand, but not smoothly, and then they stop.
I am loathe to force them (Shimano Octalink cups are soft alu) and so I thought it might be dirt in the threads? Any ideas how to clean them (I’ve used degreased and am old toothbrush - didn’t help).
Any ideas, aside from getting the threads chased, which here in Denmark, will literally cost £60?
Thanks
