scousertrials Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 I have an Adamant frame 26" and an Echo BB and to finish I have some tensile cranks. The problem is thus: the BB axle slides from side to side because the cranks dont come home to the bearing cups I have done them up proper tight but I still have about 3mm slide. It's anoying and is the a solution to this prob. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Isit a external bb? I have heard of this problem a few times. I also had it. In the end i didn't do anything about it. You could try using a spacer somewhere. My bb doesn't actually do it anymore though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think i had 3mm of movement though.You could also try removing the bb cleaning the threads out on everything. Grease the threads back up and try again.

totaltrials Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 All you need to do is just knock the bearing back in a little.Just get it on some wood to prevent damaging it and give it a knock down, won't need much.It will be ok when you put it back in after that, the problem is the axle is for a 68mm shell and if one bearing is out a little, there is a bit of space for the axle to move.Phil.
