rock Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 when re-fitting the BB cups of a shimano hollowtech II crank/bb, how tight should they be in the frame........I have read 35-50 Nm..........but quite frankly without a torque wrench, that means nothing...... any simple guide for how tight? hand tight, hit the spanner with a mallet tight? hit it twice etc. ? any other tips to prevent creaking, copper grease will be the first remedy, never really had any luck with plumbers tape ?
TitusTi Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Copaslip, then tighten it pretty f_ing tight, the recommended torque is pretty high anyway. Don't use the Mallet, but it should be bloody tight.
rock Posted February 5, 2007 Author Posted February 5, 2007 ta, have you bought copaslip lately ? where form ?
TitusTi Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Car places like Tonneson's or Midas will have.
rock Posted February 5, 2007 Author Posted February 5, 2007 ok, got some made by "Wynne's"....lets hope it does the trick.....
TitusTi Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Sounds like a good brand (How the hell would I know), give it a go and let us know?
rock Posted February 5, 2007 Author Posted February 5, 2007 ja, its "scientifically formulated"........so it must be good right ? anyways - victory motor spares (bottom of loop street)...32 bucks.
GoLefty!! Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 O don;t mine too tight since I let Threadlock keep it in place. Thread lock and copaslip don't always work lekker together
