A while back an electrical connector pooped out, fastners not tight at assembly. They got me the part in a couple of days. For that there was a work around, this NO.
I guess the point is if you hear something from you BB, take it apart right away. The progression didn't take long.
Based on the history of the 2007 version of the E-Zip that I've been monitoring, I'd estimate the total mileage at 1100 miles. I'll have to specifically ask if any vibration is apparent in the pedals. Before I transferred custody of the E-Zip, I tightened some of the parts susceptible to vibration around the pedals and rack with Loctite thread sealer. If the BB ever fails, we'll just replace it with a sealed cartridge.
