I have a pile of exploded bits which hopefully will be a full bike with me on it at the Peaks on Saturday! 
Went To EBC (Edinburger Bike Coop) at dinner for a BB, they had for my Muddy Fox Sorcerer Mega what is hopefully the right size for 500LX cranks 68/122 not seen that size online either, but at £24.99 I'm expecting UN73 means XT! :?
So they said I should get it re tapped (i wasn't expecting that :?: ) and I don't have a tool to fit BB anyway, they want £18 for that service :? , "OK OK yeah"
"Oh we can't do it till 12th Sept" :evil: FFS
OK well good excuse to get my BB, and my flexible 'friend' and run!
So I still need it fitting!
Its not gammy or owt in there I thought about tracing the thread lightly with a screwdriver and apply copper grease and screw in by hand,, or just clean well.
Then, get it tightened/buy tool, or go to another shop! 12 days to fit a BB, the frame was there-- in my hand! :roll:
Anyway,
So I'm looking for tips, services, or recommendations to a tool to buy, they said theirs were Park and about £15.
I remember EBC staff being a bit sharper and clever when it opened last year.. :?
cheers
