Mr Motivator Posted July 17, 2005 Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Does it 'pop' from up and down? Or does the AXLE actually move up and down? Have a close look. If its popping, take it out, clean all the grease off the threads in the frame and on the BB and wrap some PFTE tape round the threads on the BB (working from the inside outwards). Then put it back in. If you havnt any PFTE tape just take it out and grease the threads even more. This will work but youl have to tighten it up every month or so.
