I am building a GT Kustom Kruser Double Down. I loved the look of this bike and knew it would be a challenging build. I have run into a big problem right out of the gate. The bottom bracket is oversize at 180mm. I purchased a sbk shift kit and the bottom bracket and crank set are not compatible with the oversize setup that came with the bike I am currently looking at cutting back the bottom bracket housing I have looked inside and there seems to be enough thread cut into the housing to make the a option.

I need some input on cutting aluminum tubing and not screwing up the threads as well as keeping the cut true and straight.

Tell me what you think

Thanks

Don't chop up your bike. Get the right replacement parts. Call SBP and tell him what's going on. Sounds like you just need a longer output shaft.
