Nothing super spectacular but fun. The only iffy part right now is that the BB is on its last legs so I have to be prepared to hoof it out of there in case it seizes up. That wouldn't be the end of the world either. Why wouldn't you just replace the BB before it seizes up? |

That wouldn't be the end of the world either. Why wouldn't you just replace the BB before it seizes up? I'll have to first take it out to find out exactly what size it is. Then put it back in until the new one gets here (will replace with the hopefully better BB-ES51). The MTB has to do two more trips, less than 100mi total and it's not (yet) so bad that I'd be concerned. After that I will remove the BB, look and order one. I did the same with the road bike. There is was easier. On the old adjustable kind you could rotate the cranks 180 degrees and get a (partial) 2nd life out of the BB. Now it has a new UN-55. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |

Even if you want to mail order it, why do you have to take the BB out to find out which one it is? You can't just find the model and get the replacement part list and order it from that? I would guess that if you had the model of the bike, Andrew Muzi could probably tell you which BB you needed. |

The LBS can't do that unless you tell him the exact part number you want. Unfortunately the spec sheets of MTBs usually do not provide such detail, mine only states "Octalink BB-ES25". There are several versions of that and it must fit. I could take my calipers, measure, order and hope for the best. Personally I'd rather look and be sure.

I would guess that if you had the model of the bike, Andrew Muzi could probably tell you which BB you needed. 2013 Fuji Outland 29 1.5D. Again, I'd rather look. I found some things on the MTB that I replaced where not quite what the spec sheet says. Like with a lot of other gear. For example, when reworking a wine fridge into a fermentation chamber for beer I found that the official schematic of the electrical stuff in there was wrong. First I had to take it apart, then find out what I need. Now the other way around. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |

Yes, but even simpler just look at the crank model number on the inside of the crank arm, measure BB width (68 or 73mm for an MTB).
