emery Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 Went out for a stroll down the bottom of my road to a church, good learning place infact. And the bb started to click I found it so f*cking annoying. On thursdau I put together a new drivetrain: Echo cranks with FFW acs with a shinamo bb the un53. So I thought, yer no more clicking or rattleing. but it did happen but not always, I have got a duff bolt though not threaded but looks weak. It does not do it all the time> I try to tighten it but the bolt is stuck tight so I thought ermmm. Then the otherside done it like 3 times then stopped. Then it all stopped. And finally it started as I was riding home. :D What is it as I expect £90 to not do this. It's probally something minor I know but one of those things. So what else could it be just buy a new bolt or loctite the bolt in place. ^_^ Toby (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waynio Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 i think you should take everything off and GREASE everything including the b/b axle and threads on the bolts etc etc. the more you grease the less chance there is of something clicking.

downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 I didnt read your post properly (too tired lol) but could it not just be your lock ring on your freewheel? Weld it on (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wardie Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 It might be because your right crank didnt go on straight and you didnt want to fix it. sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emery Posted October 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 OK again thanks, but wouldn't grease on thebb axles make it slide around and are the axles just to hold the cranks on Eg. I don't have to take apart my bb. toby (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murph Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 if it has done what mine did get some locktite in your freewheel before it explodes :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted October 23, 2005 Report Share Posted October 23, 2005 Time and time again, freewheels dont explode when the lock ring comes off, they have just simply... fell apart. blowing up is where you go to do a gap, and half your leg gets blown off and your cranks blow 4 meters away :) (Y) :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
