Hey guys...I don't think I have ever posted to the forums here, but have been around for a year or so now reading, etc. I really enjoy being here on RideMonkey when I get the time.
Anyways, I ran into a problem today...quite dissappointed at the moment. I have an '03 Stumperjumper FSR comp that I tore down this winter and was doing a nice R&D on. A couple of years back, I went from an ISIS style crank/BB back to a square spline XT and UN-52 setup I had (to fix problems I was having with the ISIS BB always seeming to wear out quickly). Not to mention, I was never really a fan of that system. This square taper XT crank had never let me down, etc.
So, I go to take out the bottom bracket today, and everything went smoothly. No issues after breaking loose...however, looking at the non drive side of the bike, alot of the threads of the BB shell CAME OUT with the BB. I remember installing it, NO issues whatsoever, no cross threading, etc. However, now looking at the BB I'm missing alot of threads on the non drive side and am not quite sure what my options are.
Any ideas? I know I could take her to an Italian thread....is there anything I can do? Anyone have any ideas and/or have had this happen before? (the D side shell came out great as well...no thread issues). I'm really bummed and hope the frame isn't useless now!
A pic...
There is still good thread on the inside and i really honestly couldn't tell what happened. This sucks. If anyone can help or shed light on a repair, that'd be great....
