PS just as I though. Thanks for the feedback.

Curious what frame that was on. Light carbon frame? My guess is that the high torque caused the bb shell to compress unevenly and created a bending force on the bb threads. Reminds me of how easy it was to snap seatpost binder bolts on old steel frames. similar bending forces.jpeterson1012 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 04, 2021 6:23 pmI've actually snapped one of those thrad-togethers straight in half by torquing it to the recommended spec.
