How many of you have your frames prepped when building?
I mean the facing and chasing of the BB shell, and Facing (and sometimes reaming) of head tube?
External bearing BB's 'require' the BB to be faced (for proper install and required for warranty) as Chris King will technically not warranty a headset/bearings pressed into and un-faced/prepped frame.
In my experience, very few people do this except the OCD guys like me. It can prevent stress risers, creaking headsets and BB's, and loosening as well as wear of/on parts.
So do you do it?
Always?
Sometimes?
Haven't, but want to going forward?
etc.....
