I just spent my vacation money upgrading my Pista with various parts, including a Phil Bottom Bracket and a Stronglight crank.
When I got the bike home from my lbs (it rode like a dream), I put the bike up on the workstand and spun the crank.
The chain sounded a little noisier than before (silent before); and, looking at the spinning crank, chain and cog from the rear, the chain seemed to bend just a bit to the left (center).
It my not bend at all, and I may only imagine it or an optical illusion makes it look that way.
Because of the tiny amount of bend/misalignment (possibly imagined), I feel a little weird asking my lbs to play with it; and so, I'd like to experiment with moving my bottom bracket myself, to see if I can get a totally silent chainline.
I see that Phil sells a "consumer" grade Portable Installation Tool.
Does anyone have any experience with adjusting their own Phil Bottom Bracket, and will this tool accomplish this?
On Monday I'll give Phil a call, or send an e-mail, but I thought I get some feedback here, first.
