Ordered a VO French thread bottom bracket. Got it and went right to work. It was cross threading and cross threading and NOT going in correctly. I know; A) Don't force things, and B) Take a day and get back at the problem with a fresh, not frustrated, mind.
Back in the garage the next day I restart the process by double checking the L and R markings on the BB and.... sonuva***** illiterate moron I am, it was a Brit BB and said so very clearly.
Didn't foul up the Pug threads, just wasted money and time. Oops. Dumass. Surely I've done dumber bike things, but luckily I can't remember them.
