Hi Jon, We think the same on this, so the BB is winging its way to Phil Wood and company even now. I read some things, even talked with PW support, about a DIY offset change but I thought better of that, at least with the tools I have. I bought the BB on eBay so better it have a good check-up and the work done well and correctly. One of the reasons for using PW parts is doing it right, then ride without worry, so that is the plan.
Thanks for the good advice! Bob On Wednesday, April 19, 2017 at 11:58:28 PM UTC-5, Jon Spangler wrote: > > Bob, > > I have been using Phil Wood BBs since 1975, when I was 23.
