Mark W Posted July 2, 2007 Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 Tube spacer too long, meaning the bearings don't actually get tightened enough before they bottom out? Oh, and try moving the arms around to a different spline... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 Doesn't matter what BB you run, 'cos it's just a spindle. But first, try rotating the cranks on the spindle, just so they run on different splines. It often works out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
