Thanks, I've been looking at your site to try and find a solution. TBH Planet X screwed it up originally and I've given up with it and bough a Defy to use as my winter / hills bike. I like to ramble it's more of a musty one experience and I can't be arsed to spend hours editing it gets in the way of coaching and riding.
Oh that reminds me, Thank you. I managed to work out what Bottom brakes I needed for the defy so I could use a really old Carbon Power2Max power meter. I've never named to work out why it didn't fit as all the forums said it should work in a standard Push fit Shimano Hollowtec BB. But it didn't it was too tight and I had to "adjust" the plastic inserts to make it work. Anyway it should have been the FSA Mega Exo 24mm Pushfit. Fits perfect now.
I did open a lot of cash on a CNC ceramic bottom bracket. but what ever I do it's not going to get away from the BB hole in the frame is egg shaped and the shell moves.
lol, I was waiting for a steel is real, I started my racing career in an Elswick Stag with Reynolds 531. Lovely bike! though I also remember a lot of bikes (and I mean a lot) had stress fractures so it wasn’t as people remember the good old days of steel.
Reg Holdsworth have you seen Curly.
Not in a while
Quite a long video to just say you glued in a thread together BB. If the glue doesn’t hold I’d recomend Vudu glue from easy composites.

If you’re willing to spend the money, get a Hambini bottom bracket

Buy a real bike made of steel, rather than a toy bike made of plastic
