Hi all,

I'm looking for some advice on my 2016 Voodoo Hoodoo 2016 frame. Due to a poorly installed bottom bracket I am left with cross/stripped threads in my frame when trying to install a new BB. I have a local engineering firm taking a look to see if they can rethread later in the week however I'm just investigating options if they can't complete this. I have seen on the web some threadless bottom brackets but them seem to be all in the 68mm shell width and not 73mm (which is what I require 73mm x 118mm). I have read about people that have machined down there frame to fit the 68mm shell size? So maybe this is another option then buy the threadless BB?

Any help gladly received.
Many thanks
Steve

A good bike shop will have the right tools to fix this. They will chase the treads with the correct tap and do it straight.
Go to a good bike shop first!
