Tam-

How did you deal with the threading requirements for the Pino BB?

His BB's are somewhat difficult to deal with because the threading in the frame's BB shell must be continous from one end to the other. Most BB shells are are threaded for 2 separate cups.

Do tell!

Thanks

I was working on one of my project bikes today and noticed that the Pino Morroni bottom bracket is exceptionally smooth. I haven't done any maintenance on the BB since taking ownership of it, and after witnessing how freely it spins I can see why Pino went through the trouble of designing his own cartridge system. Anyways, for those who might be bored and have bandwidth to download a 2MB video, check out my 40-second clip at:
