I justed picked up my new Surly Cross Check complete. The bottom bracket is stated in the specs to be Deore however it looks pretty cheap. The left side is just white plastic without much of a cap. the spindle is packed with visible grease that after the 1st ride is full of sand. Is there an inexpensive solution to protect the bottom bracket from taking on water and dirt?

Don't worry about it. It will last awhile, mine outlasted the stock crankset. Actually only the left arm wore out, I was looking for an excuse to get a 165mm set anyway.
