If you are using the Mavic SSC bottom bracket, you should be aware that it requires special machining of the bottom bracket shell....actually the edges of the shell need to be chamfered, and the BB fits in the shell without utilising the threading. You may have already known this, though. As an added bonus of selecting the Vitus 979, many of these frames came from the factory with their BBs thus chamfered. -Steve Spielman Maryland
