I cleaned them up as best I could and borrowed a proper tap. I have also read that freezing the cups can make the install easier as well.

I've never heard that, care to elaborate a bit more? What would you freeze, the BB cups? Curious.

Yes, the cups. Makes them a contract a little making threading a easier. I do the opposite (heating) when installing bearings in cups.

The only problems I had were wrong bolts for the front mech hangar, the threads on the BB had to be chased as the shells would not thread in very far and the rear hangar bent on a mild strike but one was ordered from elsewhere on AliExpress as Surprise store was no help at all.
Price was great and shipping was surprisingly fast. I found the large I ordered was a little too long in the reach but compensated with a 80mm stem. FWIW I am 6' tall. It rides very well and quite fast for what it is.

How fast was surprisingly fast? I’ve got 28 items shipped, 2 waiting… let’s check!
Damnit, two pretty essential parts haha.

Frame was 13 days and my Elitewheel order was just short of 2 months. I was getting nervous because they asked twice to extend delivery time but they eventually did come. VERY happy with the wheels.
