Title: New Bottom Bracket Press!
Post by: maximusotter on March 27, 2007, 23:56:06 PM
Had to fix an annoying tick noise in the BB area, found that it was an upside down circlip. Punched out the bearings as they were nasty anyway. Cleaned by shaking them with solvent in a genuine Park coleslaw container, regreased, and pressed in with my fancy new BB Press, now with oaken planks! :D

Ooh speaking of which, I have a clickin which Im pretty sure is one of my chainring bolts.  I whipped off the trouserguard that came with the cheapie crankset but used the same bolts, which meant I couldnt get a slothead on to the nuts as the bolts protruded too much.  Consequently, one bolt I couldnt tighten properly.  Gah, looks like Im going to have to get some short stack bolts in the end :(

bolts are cheap, get the "bmx" ones and you can get red, which is faster! :D
