    I need the PF30 BB reaming to spec on a Boardman frame (yes I know, serves me right).  I suspected it wasn’t quite right from new (too late now) as when a new BB is pressed in (using the correct tool) the non-drive side is very stiff and the drive side is also not exactly what I would call ‘free moving’.  With the last BB having given up the ghost this week I got the micrometer on it and its at least 0.05 (up to about 0.1) mm out of tolerance.

    Plenty of places seem to do facing but not the reaming (the facing needs doing too but I don’t think thats the main issue).  Anyone know anywhere Brighton-ish that can do it?  A frame builder maybe?

    As an alternative, if anyone can recommend a good bottom bracket that might be alright with this extra tolerance that might do.  I’m not looking to spend too much as frankly its not that good a bike!

    It’s a 2014 CX Team btw, apparently notorious for poor fitting BB shells (I discover now).
