PaRtZ Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Fitted a neon ISIS BB. My BB tool seems to have a smaller than standard bore than other tools, as when I fitted it, the tool caught on the gold/red sleeve part of the BB axle. Then as I tightened the BB into the frame, it pushed the axle in with it!! As a result, the BB seems a little off centre and the non driveside is catching on the brake cylinder (Can't move it in anymore, its already very closeIve tried refitting it: Taking off the non driveside cup (So the bearing isn't against the cup) Hammering the axle through from the driveside so its FLUSH with the BB, then fit the cup again and with the pushing through its still doing, it still doesn't end up centre Im going to try and find another BB tool that fits properly, but any other ideas/things to try now?Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigamac Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Can't you tighten the BB up on one side, push the axle back then tighten the other side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harmertrials Posted June 23, 2009 Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Can't you tighten the BB up on one side, push the axle back then tighten the other side? What he said, or if you can remove the cup from the driveside, fit it and then pop the other side in after, had to do that with my trialtech.

AdamR28 Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Im going to try and find another BB tool that fits properly, but any other ideas/things to try now?Answered your own question there dude :wink2:Once the cups are properly tightened in, the bearings/axle will seat themselves.
