Now I had a convo with Dirty Mike a while back concerning this, and I wanted to address the topic at hand and get different perspectives. I thought that most frames were already faced properly when arrived, but Mike wasn't of the same opinion.
1- If there are no visual PC leftovers on the frame, should the frame still be faced?
2- Once a frame is faced we should we have to do it again>?
3- a) I would think that if you change headsets, then you might have to ream a frame more than once? how does this affect the frame?
b) Does anyone ream the frame like indicated by park depending on the cup size>>>>>>http://www.parktool.com/repair/readhowto.asp?id=65
4) In what cases should the BB be faced/reamed?
- For those who are adamant about facing:
A1. Say I buy a new bike, completely built, Should the BB and Head Set still be faced? or should this procedure be only done when installing a new HeadSet or BB
A2- Although Park is the most popular brand in North-America, has anyone had ANY experience with anything else>? good/bad? anything to avoid?
A3-What cutting fluid do you prefer?
A4-Last, How much should a BB or HeadSet ream or face or ream/face should cost....separate and together?
