Am I being daft or are these instructions plain wrong and could lead to cross threading?
"English threaded bottom brackets have a reversed threaded non-drive cup (tightens by turning counter-clockwise)." Shouldn't that be "reverse threaded drive"?
It's from an FSA Powerdrive bottom bracket instructions. I've fitted the drive side turning anti-clockwise anyway as in the past!
Also is it just my imagination, or did my old BB disintegrate:
That's the left side at the top and the right at the bottom. The whole thing came out the left side when I thought I was just removing the left cup - wasn't expecting that for sure! The old one was a Token.
