Probably did what I did just last weekend. Had an ultegra octalink crank and internal threaded bb. Chainrings were shot. While inspecting the rings I noticed there was a very small amount of lateral slop, hardly detectable, I would say 1/4-1/2mm when really putting a load on it with your body weight. It spun almost as smoothl as the new one. I decided to change it while I had everything off and cleaning it just because. I was about 9 or 10 years old and I wanted to take it apart once. That's what many don't get. Some people, not because lack of skills, only want to remove and replace things as little as possible. Btw, that bb would have probably lasted a lot longer. God only knows how Lon that small amount of slop was in it. Undetectable when riding.
