surf air snow Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 I bought a new BB (Truvativ Gigapipe DH) a while back and i am having some trouble with it. Basically I‘m running a front freewheel and its rubbing against the bb as I ride and the friction is causing it to unscrew, it has done this so many times now that I have started to ware out the thread. Is this because of the way I have put the bb on and has anyone else had this problem??Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Rainbird Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 By the sounds of it (and from the looks of mine) there's not really enough room on there for a set of cranks and freewheel, especially if there's a bash squeezed in there somewhere too. This would cause the freewheel to rub on the the BB flange and possibly come looseWithout seeing a pic at least it's hard to say though, maybe try and get one up?What length did you get? You need a pretty long axle as far as I'm aware... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
