Whilst grinding on the BB shell of your frame is cool, they’re not designed for grinding.

The BB Buddy is a replacement non-drive bottom bracket spacer made for abuse and will give your frame some added protection. It sits at a slightly bigger diameter than your bottom bracket shell and is made out of post heat treated 4140 (the same stuff as a decent metal peg); this glorified washer will slide grinds faster and lock in better, ensuring your BB bearings won’t melt to dust.
