Just a simple question to ask here:

Fitting the bottom bracket on where you have the metal bb with a plastic cup, I usually fit the metal bb on the right hand side and the plastic cup on the left, it's ok to fit the other way round with metal bb on left and plastic on the right?

Is this safe to do that way or not?

Thanks
 
They are threaded the opposite way are they not? Don't think you can do it bud
 
Mine is fitted back to front as the bb shell got welded on backwards
That seems to me the only way it would go ,plastic cup on the non-drive side

If its for an E-type front mech :? then you need a different bb to the usual ,theyre exactly the same but it has a wider flange on the drive side and has a code letter 'E' on it
