REAMING-OUT  THE HEADTUBE,  AND THREAD CHASING  THE BOTTOM-BRACKET

By James Morikawa


What's the date!  Ah yes, it's the 16th of December 2006.  I have time to create a webpage, and so I will create one.

After squaring off the seat and head tubes,  I will proceed to "Reaming-out the headtube, and thread chasing the bottom-bracket".  That's to get the headtube  bearing cup fit,  and to make sure the bottom-bracket threads are OK.

My Park Headtube Reamer does the job well . . . and always ream with cutting oil.


Thread chasing the bottom-bracket with my Park BB tap tool . . . and always chase with cutting oil.

That's it for this webpage.  Wow, that was easy.

Bye.
