73mm thread less bottom bracket

[Antfox]

i have a 14" Zaskar where the bottom bracket threads are damaged

Does anyone know of a 73mm thread less b/b I've been speaking to a few companies and 68mm is the normal.

If not I'll see if anyone wants some wall art

They are available, but not many axle sizes, in fact I could only find one size, 113 I think?
There was a link in another thread in this section a couple days ago, Rampage put a link up for threadless BB and looking at that shop I found a 73.
I will try find it.

*EDIT*

it was your other thread

sjscycles.co.uk do one in 73mm, I need one, might have to order from them.

You could always re-cut the threads from english 1.370x24 to italian ones (they're a little bigger). Sheldon Brown has an article on how you could salvage a mangled BB thread by re-cutting it to italian. Then you could use any BB as long as you get italian threaded cups. Of course you would need a good bike shop that has the tools AND is willing to do the job! That's a rare thing nowadays.

SjS cycles no longer do a 73mm version

I think the frame will be melted down to make a mech hanger

Ah dammit!

There must be some one on here that can re-do them? or someone has the tool?

How about one of the Mavic threadless bottom brackets?

Or have the shell narrowed/refaced to 68mm?

70mm

Or listen to the previous advice and get 2mm taken off each side of the BB shell

That one is 68mm width the listing says, how much to do this job of the shell ?

It's a 97 zaskar frame so not worth much

A file will do it

I guess I've got nothing to loose !
