Just watched this and I can't believe that he re assembled the BB
with the plastic cages....
I too was surprised at it's having plastic cages, so either the BB has been rebuilt before, or they came that way from the factory? FWIW, I don't think the plastic cages will hurt anything, as they only keep the bearings in place, and don't support any weight?
