I have an Octalink 5500 bottom bracket that's feeling a little gritty. Doesn't make sense as it's only a few months old and has no real wear on it. I pull the BB and it looks like on the fixed cup side of the bb there's a small plastic dust cap looking thing that's been mangled (there's a whole one on the adjustable cup side as well). I pull the bit out and the bb now turns noislessly (although not quite as smoothly as I'd like. not a big fan of the cartridge bearings I guess.), I pull both off and it's smoother still. So the question is am I going to have problems if I reinstall the bb without the dust cap looking bits? I'm going to give the threads and spindle a nice coat of Phils grease before I put her back in, just want to know if I'm going to have problems down the road.
