Gaz96 Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Ive got my bash and freewheel attached to my cranks and was ready to fit them to my current build in the procces, is it as simple as screwing in the bolts? I know I should apply some grease on the threads but should I prepare the isis mounts on the BB in anyway? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Grease on the Isis mounts and take an 8mm Allen with you when you ride for the first couple of weeks as if they're both brand new the cranks won't fit fully on at first. They'll keep coming loose every 30mins or so and will need tightening up a lot till they fit on fully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j-bonham@hotmail.com Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) what a lil grease on there, will aid when you remove them at some point. Edit: Beaten to it. like he said. ride around an keep doing them up..... Edited January 24, 2011 by j-bonham@hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But thanks for the grease with get these fitted sometime soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
