Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

BB question

Its rained alot here lately so i decide to clean and regrease my BB.
Is there a reason for the bearings on one side to be squiky clean while the other side looks like crap.
The spindle was clean.
Oh it was the drive side that looked like crap, bb is a Sugino 75.

It's all the grease and dirt that comes off of your chain when it gets wet in the rain. You might also notice that your driveside chainstay is dirtier than the NDS.
