Dropped a bearing into the chainstay
Hello-
I'm just doing a basic BB overhaul on my friend's 90s mountainbike. I gooped up the fixed cup and started slipping bearings in there, and as I got 6-8 bearings in, I decided I was going to run the bearing up the side of the BB and settle it in, when it suddenly disappeared on me. I hadn't closely inspected the inside and I was working by feel, so this came as a total shock, but I almost immediately realized how much of a doofus I was.
Long story short: I dropped a bearing into the chainstay. It's all gooped up, so I can't hear it, but it's in there. Eventually it's going to start rolling around, so to avoid the "what's this noise" question later, I want to get it out.
1)is there anything bad that can come from a greased up bearing in the chainstay?
2)any ideas to get it out?
I already put a bent brad on the end of a pretty strong magnet and tried to fish it out with no luck. I think the next thing I'm going to try is to turn the bike onto its front wheel and shake the hell out of it. Any other ideas?
