More than a little bit pissed off too that I have to foot the bill for refitting the groupset.
You don't have to foot the bill for a new groupset if you keep the frame you have and epoxy the BB in...which is per specification for Specialized.
You don't have any mechanic friends that will install it for a good steak and beer?...if you do get a new frame?
Let's see if you pass the definition of insanity test.
You know what that is right?....doing the same thing over again and expecting a different outcome.
Your old frame started out as a new frame. If you don't epoxy in a new BB into your new frame then, expect the same wear over time.
The reason that Specialized specs epoxy is to prevent noise issues and also to prevent what happened to you...carbon shell wear due to Delrin bushing squirm and abrasion.
Good luck.
