duggyd Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 I just got a VIz bb form tarty, and a tool to fit it, i have a couple of questions... Which side do i put in first? And which side goes on the drive side? The loose cup, or the whole cartridge bit? And do I tighten them both up bit by bit? or one side then the other?Sorry for the noob questions, and thanks for any replies!Cheers.

dangerous_dave Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Put the cartridge through the drive side, then tighten... Make sure the threads are very greased and cleaned prior to doing so, they're very fine threads and they mash easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 whole bb goes in the drive side, the loose cup goes in the non drive.Grease the threads and pop the non drive in a few turns then screw in the drive side all the way and tighten HARRD (note: the drive side is opposite thread!!) Once thats in, tighten the non drive side HARRD! Jobs done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 can i just ask, does it REALLY matter which way round in it goes? ie the opposite way to what ali said? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali C Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 wont go in the other way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted November 2, 2007 Report Share Posted November 2, 2007 Yeah - if you put the non drive in first and it goes in too far, you won't ever get the drive side to butt up against the BB shell... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pengsmelly Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 (edited) Just a tip: I always remember which way the tighten by saying to myself, each side tightens towards the rear of the bike and loosens towards the front. thats how i remember it. lolmatt Edited November 4, 2007 by pengsmelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
