scousertrials Posted March 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Wow man, are you that confident in it. Iv'e just paid for one from http://www.airevalleycycles.com/products.p...d=m2b0s109p2430 and cant wait for it to arrive. Am I right in thinking that this will last for ten years?

Ash-Kennard Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 no, but i imagine it will last for 3-4 unless you go totally physco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew_Gibson Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Mine seams fine, Just make sure you dont mess up the splin things up though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash-Kennard Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 Mine seams fine, Just make sure you dont mess up the splin things up though!actually i forgot to mention that, i did do that, i completely snapped the socket spline thing off, so i sent it back to tarty and they replaced it for me (legends). but it was only because my bb shell wasnt faced properly and would have happened to any bb.yours will be fine i imagine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scousertrials Posted March 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 I aint got a clue what the socket splines are. Are they the connecting point between the cranks and bb. Please show me an image of what you are on about because I dont want to do what the previous poster did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave85 Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 He means the flange of the cup, the bit that sits against the end of the BB shell when you put the BB in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kid creole Posted March 30, 2007 Report Share Posted March 30, 2007 actually i forgot to mention that, i did do that, i completely snapped the socket spline thing off, so i sent it back to tarty and they replaced it for me (legends). but it was only because my bb shell wasnt faced properly and would have happened to any bbI did that as well but i just over tightened it, its a shame to cause it was really smooth and felt strong. i think its just the spline thats weak cause my mate cracked hes as well.

Shaun H Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 From the sounds of things it's essential that your bottom bracket shell is faced properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
