Are you going to take it out completely to lube it? If you are I think you will need a bottom bracket tool/adaptor which allows you to unsrew it completely and take it out to clean up and lube.
This is certainly the case on mountain bikes but never had my trials bike BB out to be honest.
Depending on your BB it may well look something like this
Again, I'm basing this on servicing MTB bottom brackets so trials bikes may be different
Watched him on youtube... pretty good! His card handling is unbelievable. There is a slowed down version of the bottle trick on youtube that shows how its done....seen the Tinie Tempah album cover trick? Mental!
The chain is pretty slack without one but it still feels fine... it has a creak somewhere which may be BB but not enough to worry just yet.
Yeah any information you have would be good...Did you do the nice scratch/gash down the left side of the frame or was that after you lol
Why did you use the splitter, does it offer any advantage?...never seen one before!
Why did you sell it? When was this?
Did you sell it to the guy in Maidstone? Yeah sure...I take it you miss it? Its a lovely ride, you did a great job with the build.
I need a chaintensioner for it though.
Yeah I heard about that... I know what you mean about carrying stuff, I'm moving house in 2 weeks so that'll be a laugh!
But to be fair Ali, at least yours was a big move with a good story to tell...mine was just laughable! :$
Right hand out of action! Yeah live in middle of nowhere but luckily have a wife to drive me around and, ahem..... you know!
I'm pretty much living on co-codamol at the moment...may mix with a bottle red wine tonight and see how things pan out lol
Its probably due a clean... what was the spray dude?
What was the issue with your brake? I'm just wondering if there is something I can do/check to stop it happening again
Cool thanks...
The annoying thing is it was such a crap fall..not dangerous, not dynamic just a standard everyday pedal kick up onto an object gone wrong...just unluck I guess.
I think i'll have a deep mistrust in those brakes when i get back into it though
That sounds like something I can do in front of the telly! Can it be done with one hand though lol
Can you recommend a tutorial?
It won't stop me getting fat though lol
I managed to brake my elbow this week and I'm looking at at least 8 weeks off the bike
Basically I hopped onto a concrete sleeper (2 mins into the ride) and the back wheel slid out of the brakes resulting in me going backwards and smashing my arm on said sleeper... no pins required thankfully!
I'm running Avid sd7 arms with TNN pads and a light grind so i'm shocked it slipped...
Everything is a massive hassle without your good arm but I suppose it could be worse...nice dent in my helmet to prove that!
The question is, what do I do for 8 weeks?!? Can't even run as i'll get sweaty and itch like hell
I'm sure loads of people have been in a similar situation right?
