Today I got my frame, I'm happy with the color (Pantone 9083 C) and the bike itself. But as im an newbie I cannot tell if the paintjob is good/ok/bad.
Especially I would need your advice if I have to clean up some of the threads and if so how to do it best.
So my questions:
- I tested to screw in the bb and that worked so far. But would I have to clean the surrondings of the bb-thread in order not to crack the paint?
- What about the break mount treads?
- and all the other threads like bottle cage holder or bag, etc?
- Should i clean the headset holes and if so, how to do it best?
Additionally i couldn't figure out the following:
- what are the two metal rings for, that came with the headset bearings?
- What is the strange toothshape o-ring for that came with the headset spacers?
- what are the additional parts with the bb for? My Lingmai does not have these?
Thanks in advance!
