Monty 221 Pr Bottem Bracket Problem


Rubenio

Recommended Posts

Hey all,

I'm having quite a big problem with my Monty 221 PR ( from the year 2005).

The problem is ; The right crank hits the horizontal fork. First I ride with an FSA Platinum Pro ( 12 CM) and with 2 SPACERS.

Because there was so much "flex" in the crank or something , the crank and frame hit eachother. After a while It was so worse now there's even 1/2 mm out of my frame.

Wich I did not see very fast because I had an Old Innertube on the horizontal fork. So I bought myself a Try-All 127.5 BB, After I Installed the BB I saw the RIGHT crank was still very close to the frame(while the left crank had very much space on the other side). I thought : lets put a spacer on it! but it has no effect because there is total no movement on the "free cup" So what I had to do now??? :mellow:

Are there other riders on this forum with the same bike as I ??

Please Help :turned:

Grtz.

I actully have the 127.5 Try-all wich is very, very long.

exactly mate you need a longer axle if it is hitting the frame or you have knocked the crank arm extremely hard and you have bent it so it catches the frame :) if a longer axle dont work then take it down to you local bike shop :)

thanks

your crank must be bent then as there should be more than enough clearance as many other people have no problems with there montys and the frame will be made so there more than enough clearance. Out of interest does the bb work where it has to loose cups or one fixed on to the bb because if its to loose cups then your problem could be you have it all set up to far to one side.
