hi there fellow amateur wrench monkeys, has anyone had any experience with the above BB? The brand is ***, evidently they are a european company.
i once spoke to a sales rep- who was a cyclist! in a bearings shop, what a coincidence. Anyway the shop is now gone and no-one around seems to sell *** bearings. The rep did tell me they were sealed for life, but even then they would need a top up of grease, surely? The rep also said the bb had labrinth seals- heck i don't even know what that means!
The bb was on a second hand frame i purchased, and now 10 years later it is possibly on its last few kilometers, but is it able to be restored?
Thanks in advance for replies
regards, sillystorm
