divernick Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 I was riding my SS on the weekend when my BB started making a loud creaking,cracking noise.... When I took the cranks off and the BB out of the frame I discovered that the non-drive side adapter which is a threaded plastic cup, had broken. The problem now is that I amfaced with either replacing the 4-month old BB (OK it's cheap)or trying to find a replacement plastic cup. Anyone have any idea if such a plastic cup is available loose?
Thug Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 I run a sq taper BB but unfortunately not Shimano, so can't help.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Damn. You should be able to source one from an LBS - they should have in stock from some old bikes that might have swopped them out for clients. Saying that, a new ST BB is approx R 100, for a full steel one. Sure the replacement cup would be just a bit less than that...
divernick Posted August 29, 2011 Author Posted August 29, 2011 Anyone got an old part lying around? Or am I gonna be forced to go the LBS?
Johan Bornman Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Come visit me. I am sure I have plenty in my useful bits box.
