Wiggins15 Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 The only place i could think of would be the try-all website itself, if you cant find it there email dave at tartybikes, he may know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.E.A.U Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Hi mate,I have had the same problem. I had a koxx bb for my coust and i had it for bang on a month and one week and went out to ride and i could hear grinding. I couldn't figure out what it was and then it happened again and finally it wouldn't go around any more. So i sent it back to bike dock because it was under warranty and they sent it off to the koxx guy fred something. And i had to wait 3 weeks for a new one because they said they would not replace it. Anyways i got my new one i went out riding. 3 weeks later it seized up. So its sitting in my garage now never to be used again. I was so angry. So i bought an fsa bb and its been to hell land back and still going well. I say screw the koxx get fsa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anzo Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Derby Bearings Ltd01332 369821ring them and get a quote (obviously have all your bearing sizes written down. They're very cheap and have a wide range. It might work out cheaper than buying from Buy-all because they'll just rape you with the cost, I imagine for a full set of bearings from them, you'd be a few quid short of a brand new BB.

zinger Posted April 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 i will give this derby place a ring after i tried my local bearing stockists up in aberdeen...to the guys having similar problems, instead of buying new bottom brackets, my local bike shop suggested using skf bearings, ment to be the shizzz or japanese if you can find a dealer lol, if you have the money just buy an fsa or echo...try-all justs nasty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
