This is on a new bike I’ve had for only six weeks. Two weeks ago I had the left crank warrantied because it wasn’t torqued properly and just came loose while riding. Ffs
Today I was riding and noticed play in the BB.
My knowledge of bottom brackets is limited, but to my lay understanding the cups are moving, and therefore the threads in either the bb cups or the frame itself are stripped. It’s a 68mm threaded bb.
Can anyone confirm this or maybe add some advice?
Thanks in advance.
Bottom bracket play with cups moving

I feel like you are right but I have not done a lot of work on bottom bracket before. I can’t say for sure if this is cup and cone or sealed cartridge. When my BB axel had play like that, the cups did not budge at all, whereas your video clearly shows the cup threads moving in and out of the shell
