Wanted Mavic bb shell cutter

[fiveSixteenths]

Loooonnggggggg shot. Need to buy or borrow the 45deg chasing tool to cut the chamfers on the bb shell so as the Mavic bb seats correctly.
Or anyone know anyone that does this (apart from Hilary Stone who never replied to my email about it)?
Am in South Oxfordshire if it helps.
cheers
Richard

I do mine in my lathe using a valve seat cutter and a revolving centre in the tailstock.

That’s very cool. Umm, would you consider doing mine? I don’t have a garage let alone a lathe lol
Edit: ah, forgot you’re in Manchester so that’s probably out

It's a fair distance true.

I have the suitable Mavic tool.



Happy to do the job FOC, if you can get the frame to me (Leek, Staffordshire, ST13).
Or I can send you the tool in exchange for a decent deposit.

All the best,

Ah! Now, I can’t get to Leek so what would you consider a fair deposit? Drop me a pm? Best news for a while as the build has totally stalled and I was getting close to giving up ha ha!

Cheers man, this is quite a task but looks like I’m one step closer!

Evening. Very rude of me to overlook getting back to you
Managed to get a local engineering company to drop the frame on a mill at lunchtime for £10, picked it up today and (phew) they've done a great job.

Just in case this turns up in someone's search fir info:

The instruction manual for these Mavic BBs can be found in the archives here: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/gallery2/v/Manufacturer+Archive/Mavic/Manuals/Mavic610URDManual.pdf.html
Key instruction on the chamfer is: "Prepare a 45° chamfer 2 to 2.5mm deep on both sides of the bottom bracket."

All the best,
