Hi all
Stripped bottom bracket on a not so valuable frame, but worth the effort of making the adjustable cup permanent, but not wasting a mechanics time.
First question: Is there a need to file the mangled thread of the bottom bracket so that the adjustable cup fits snugly?
Secondly: In town I could purchase a "metal epoxy", but nowhere does it say for gluing metal to metal. Can anyone recommend a glue?
Any experience, tips offered will be most welcome.
Thanks in anticipation.
