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.
tpreitzel thanks for the reply. I spoke with customer support at Currie today. I'm not sure if you've read or that I've written here a description of my early minor setback. Currie promised solutions some of which were on back order. They beat their commitments on all three of the parts. I support their support, if that's not too redundant. Anyway support had answers, when I got them on the phone, I'm persistent and speaker phones make listening easy, I like west coast radio stations. The person I spoke with said the Bottom Bracket Cartridge was on back order until Mid July. I think I can suffer until then. Now that I know the new cartridge will replace the axle, case, bearings et al. I feel I can ride it grinding and all. I'm old school from when all the parts were separate and you wanted to save any part you could.
I expect Currie may beat mid July. I always try to let the phone people know all the good web reports I give on Currie support.
