I'm building a klunker out of a 1947 CWC bike and I need some help. I spent hours researching this and still got it wrong I guess. Besides the spindle length being a hair too short, the (I forget the proper term) cup that goes on the left side to stablilize the BB only screws in half way, like the BB is a little too long. What am I doing wrong? I've seen a lot of people do this, but they never list the size of the BB they use. Does anyone know? Thanks
I bought this bottom bracket: Shimano BB-UN55 68x122.5 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005DTIEZQ?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s01
