wtf.
I got a riot recently and swapped the parts from my STP onto it. The BB came loose once, so I tightend it up and it was fine for a few weeks.
It started feeling wierd today so I took the bearings/cups out and the threads are pretty much gone from the cups. (Truvativ Holzfeller crankset, Howitzer bottom bracket). I did use plenty of grease and I've wrenched plenty to know how to not wreck stuff.
I'm guessing it's simply the fact that the Howitzer BB is cheap?
My question is, what BB should I be running? I have two sets of crank arms (some X-drive FSA things and the Holzfeller ones) I also have a set of Fly BMX cranks but it looks like they won't fit because the spindle is too short.(?) oh, and I have an older set of FSA bmx cranks with Ti spindle (probably also too short for this frame)
I'd rather not buy a whole new set of cranks if I don't have to.
What size front sprocket and what BB do you guys run on your Riot/Mobs?
