Awesome questions. I really appreciate you guys taking the time to answer my question. so, it looks like I need a little more education cause I have no F-N idea what you guys are talking about. I called the Kijiji guy and put him on hold for now [no sense buying something I can't use] and I took my bottom bracket off and cleaned it up. I found out what the problem was, one of the bearing brackets was completed rusted and bearings were just flying around in there. Can you guys point me to a web resource that I could use to educate my self a little. Like I said I really want to do this myself, but don't have the proper base knowledge and don't want to waste your time with stupid questions. Especially if you are willing to answer my stupid questions.
