Its certainly easier to find a cartridge but i do like the cup and cone for how smooth they are. But the problem of loosening over time etc can cause bigger issues.
Previously I just tried to tighten it as it was, so I went ahead and took the whole BB down and cleaned everything really well. The BB looks good. Now I reassembled it all after cleaning and i think it may have just been a torque issue.
So to be sure this time, how much torque should be applied to the BB right and left sides?
Really tight or moderately snugged down?
