Hi

Is it possible to re-thread the thread on a frame bottom bracket shell?

You can re-thread the BB shell to italian thread but thats it. Ask your LBS,
they should have the right tool to do the job...

Wont that mean I will need a new bottom bracket with some crazy threading?

Or a new frame.

You can get BBs that dont need a thread in the frame. Greyville bring them
into the UK or e mail me with your shell width and axel length and i will
see what i can do.

I cross-threaded mine (dont ask).

Ignore those other fcukers Matt - if it's just cross-threaded, it's highly
likely that running the correct sized tap back through carefully will
recover the thread and remove your woes - there's a fair bit of length to
those threads, and a BB shell is quite wide - should be plenty of
recoverable thread surface area to see that BB go back in there nice and
solid. You'll never know unless you get it done, though.

I agree with Shauny's comments - a tap can work wonders and can be done by
any good bike shop for a few quid. However, if the worst comes to the worst,
Argos Racing Cycles can help. For 40 British beer tokens, they bored out the
old threads on my old Clockwork (which had been mauled beyond use with a
hacksaw by a previous owner) and bonded in a sleeve with a new thread in it.
A very reasonable price for some top quality workmanship.

I love being right, and it's a good job I do, too, since I'm damned good at
it ',;~}~
