Originally, when I spun the crank, it wobbled about 1/8". The point at which it was furthest in was the spot by where crank arm. I flipped the crank on the bottom bracket 180 degrees, and then the wobble was greatly reduced. Now the farthest in point (again, eyeing the edge of the chain rings) was 180 degrees from the crank arm. But, it's really not that bad with the crank flipped 180 degrees. It appears to have about 1/16" wobble at the edge of the large chain ring.
My bottom bracket shaft is hollow, and it seems like it's a little tweaked. But, I guess since flipping the crank decreased the wobble, the crank probably isn't perfect either.
So, what do you think? Should I replace the bottom bracket, or just use it in the position where it wobbles least? I'm leaning towards the second option, but would like some opinions.
