  1. Similar to this one. A bit expensive, but probably worth it depending on how long a BB lasts and how often it needs to be replaced. @MORNE What brand / model are the pivot tools?
  2. Thanks. I'll need to think about whether I'm going to try to install a new one myself. After getting the RH one out I managed to get the left one out using a pvc pipe which was just the right size for the job. It might be stuck in the pipe now 😅 Is there a significant difference between the MT500 and MT800 / SMBB7141 ones? Is it worth the extra cost? I might not have much of a choice as the lbs doesn't have the cheaper one. And I'm not 100% sure which the correct one is.
  3. Thanks Any tips for installation? Would a diy solution work? I suppose the most important part would be to get the bb in straight and have a washer that covers the entire area.
  4. Probably the best and easiest option. It doesn't look too difficult if you have the correct tools, but I'd still prefer threaded. At least I got the drive side one out now. Left not budging, yet. Install doesn't look too difficult. I'll probably get some threaded rod, nuts and washers to make a press. Depending on how well that works I might buy more proper tools.
  5. I'm struggling with a stuck pressfit bb. Tried hammering to no avail. Would a bearing puller tool work? My concern is that there isn't enough exposed bb shell around it for the cup to hold onto, if that makes sense.

  7. My experience: Emails to support can take a few to receive a reply. For one I had a reply within a day, but also some that have gone unanswered. Phoning and speaking to customer support is better and faster and the person I spoke to was helpful and knowledgeable. I had a Venu 1 with bad screen burn-in / deterioration. I sent it to them via courier and received an assessment and reply within a week. I was hoping for a freebie since it seems to have been a known issue with that generation / model, but they offered me a Venu 2 for a discount, which is still reasonable as the watch was purchased in Jan 2020 and out of warranty. The quote for the replacement was at a fixed repair rate since they don't have parts available for the Venu 1 anymore. I could also have chosen another watch, e.g. Forerunner 165 / 255, but that is seen as an upgrade even if retail pricing is less than the V2 and the discount they give for that is less. I paid for the V2 on Thursday and received it this morning, so overall it was a pretty decent experience i.t.o. customer service from them. I don't think many companies will offer this for an item that's out of warranty.
