I believe this adapter might be very useful for anyone struggling with converting or just generally fixing some older northern European bikes by companies such as Monark, Crescent, DBS, Helkama, Tunturi etc.:
"Fauber Adapter:
Converts Scandinavian 45mm press-fit bottom bracker cups to 1.37 X 24 T.P.I British thread."
Get it from Pyörätohtori here: http://www.pyoratohtori.fi/
And don't worry, he knows about these things, speaks english and will ship worldwide.
For more info on servicing a Fauber BB, look here.

ReplyDeleteNone that I know of! I know of Swiss, French, Italian and British.

"Using a russian screwdriver" when your patience runs out with some seized screws that won't budge unless you bang them home into the wall with a Russian screwdriver - a heavy hammer!
