Just get a new cartridge BB like this and be done with all the fiddling around.
They are about $20 - $25 at your LBS.

How do you convert an old non threaded Malvern Star bb to one of these sealed bearings

Just be aware that the thread length in the bottom bracket shell may not be long enough. Some fitting may be required!Lark2004 wrote:why?

What kind of bike do you have now, and what is the bottom bracket shell width (frame only, not the existing cups) ?.oldschoolfool wrote:I'm making the change from cottered cranks to cotterless but there is a plethora of options. I'd like to retain the bottom bracket bearings that i have but need the crankshaft to be compatible. Seeking wisdom from anyone!!
