DJEHB Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 Purchased a brand new TT sport lite bb back in December. It’s probably seen around 8 hours of pedal time and tonight the driveside bearing died a rather scary and loud death. Anyone else had the same issue with these? Very carefully installed etc, everything kept nipped up. Going to see if there’s any chance of warranty with tarty tomorrow but being a bearing I’m not holding my breath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted February 25, 2022 Report Share Posted February 25, 2022 Have actually seen a couple of these where the centre sleeve wasn't quite the right length, leading to early bearing death. Pop it back with a note and we'll sort it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyT Posted May 5, 2022 Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 Y’all clearly need to go back to the tried and true standard of square tapered bbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharn Posted May 5, 2022 Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 Yep, or someone needs to come out with an external bearing isis b.b. Those bearings are just too small! UN52 for the win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJEHB Posted May 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 Unfortunately mine did this again after a few more rides. Have switched over to external now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted May 12, 2022 Report Share Posted May 12, 2022 That's odd... points to a frame issue, perhaps. Though the Hex should have a nice flat BB face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This happened to me as well! Fitted the BB on Friday and it went bang on the DJ ride yesterday. I'm going to have my frame reamed and faced at my bike shop.

I know some people who bought these BBs a while ago and they've had no issues, so it will be interesting to see if it's perhaps a bad batch of BBs?

I too know people who have bought these BBs and had no problems. But I also know two people who have had this problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
