OK, so as many of you know, I've been a Buddy Rich drum solo for quite a while now ... and this Saturday the guys got on me pretty hard about it. (my bike was quite noisy) OK, time to tear down the ride.

Verdict: after an official Psimet inspection and review of course ... Bad SRAM red ceramic bottom bracket, non-drive side. New one on order at Psimet's Bike Emporium and Bike Exchange (his basement). I knew my extreme power would get me in trouble some day. :cry: Not only that, the rear bearings on my 404's are shot too. The wheel is going to them tomorrow if they can fix it quickly.

I'm estimating I have only about 5-8,000 miles on the Red groupo and maybe 10-15,000 on the Zipps. Hmmmm ... Captain Kirk keeps yelling ... "Too much power Scotty!". :rolleyes:

PS, if you bring Psi a nice 6-pack he'll tweak your wheel to super true for free. :love:

I know I really shouldn't bite on this . . . :rolleyes:

. . . but, don't you think your ride would be better maintained if kept out of the ditch?

Coming home from bike the drive, had to stop at Garibaldis for a steak/onion and cheese. Dont get out that way much any more to take advantage. I saw this Cervelo with smoke coming from the BB and some guy with a wheaties kit on and figured it had to be you. Little did I know the smoke wasnt from your power but from those inferior SRAM parts. Campy doesnt do that :innocent:
