<< Has anybody ever had a Phil move sideways? It happened on two Jack

right-side chainrings were grinding on the chainstay, grinding hard!
In both cases, the lockrings were VERY tight, but not glued in with
Locktite. Same BB, both times, swapped from one bike to other. BSC
thread. Drivetrain is standard: from the offending BB, the right
crank has a chain to the rear wheel, left crank chain to front
cranks. It happened within 500 miles of installation.
Is it a Phil thing, or a Taylor thing? I replaced the BB with a
Ritchey (fixed cup), and no more problems. But I'd like to reuse the
Phil, so I want to figure out what happened... >>
They need to be fixed with Locktite... says so in the instructions (or it did in the BB I got)
