Apocalypse_reaper666 Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Is it Just me or do other people have the same problem. I seem to go through BB's like Tap water! Ive fitted them, Friends have fitted them but every time the bearings go on the Non drive side! Which is quite ironic on how the reinforce the drive side but not the non drive side! The drive side bearings are in perfect condition! Ive had - old echo ISIS, Tryall, Cheepy Random make, Another Echo ISIS and a KO-bikes BB. At nearly Fivety Quid a time its quite expensive! Its not my frame because ive had 2 frames and it happens in both. Im Confuzzled! Help would be much appreiciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopipe Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 (edited) maybe get a euro bmx BB and some bmx cranks - profile and KHE do them with mounting points for small cogs. they aren't shite one piece cartridge jobsalternatively, stop doing 10 foot drops and/or learn to land smoother Edited April 24, 2007 by poopipe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
