Hi guys,
I was hoping to be sharing build pics by now but have run into some difficulties.
I purchased a Deedar frame at the start of January, it was faulty.
For the last 6 weeks I have been trying to get them to send me a replacement, no luck.
This is the kind of response I receive...
I have taken all of the images and e-mail correspondence and had a VERY careful and thorough look into this.
This is a BSA threaded bottom bracket for BSA threaded cups. On a BSA threaded bike the drive side (Right) is threaded in a clockwise direction so the cup has to be tightened in a clockwise direction to fit. On the other hand the non-drive side (Left) is threaded in an anti-clockwise direction so the cup has to be tightened in an anti-clockwise direction. In summary the cups are always tightened in the same direction the wheels turn in when in a forward motion. This is to stop the cups from loosening when pedaling.
The photos that you have sent showing the threads do appear to be correctly milled.
Your last video is very interesting as you are inserting the cup into the drive side (Right) and turning it in a clockwise direction as shown by the tighten arrow which is correct. However there is a 'L' stamp saying that this is a left hand cup.
I do believe that the frame's bottom bracket shell is threaded properly and has not been cross threaded allowing installation both ways. I would recommend checking the bottom bracket cup which may be mis labelled.
Kind Regards,
As you can imagine I'm less than thrilled with my purchase experience.
