Bb Trouble


surf air snow

Recommended Posts

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??

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 loose

Without 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...
