stya_bear Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Hey guys, yesturday I went for a ride and the right hand side bearings for my BB have bust, It feels like a bent set of cranks but I am 100% certain that its the bearings. Would any of you have a clue as to where I can get replacements as they are sealed... or is it a full new BB situation? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Dark Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 Echo External or internal? If its an IRB bottom bracket youre probably a bit buggered.....some BB's you can change their bearings if they're normal cartridge units such as used on the try-all / rest BB's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan Manuel Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 You can always use the same axle (if it isn't broken) , buy two bearings and use only the outside part (on the inside the axle) and put a spacer in between very tight (the one wich is used for small diameter handlebars and normal stems is ideal). Then the bearings enter in the bb cups perfectly and you get a cheap, lightweight repaired BB. Sorry for my english, I don't know if it's understandable PD: I've done that with my First BB and now it works perfeclty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
