Cruiser BB question

(1/2) > >>

FuNMoNsTeR:
I have fitted a Sugino 1 piece crank and BB from a silver streak to my Torker cruiser... The bearings and bearing cages look in good shape but there is resistance when i pedal backward and i have to run the assembly 'loose' for it to move freely. Are cruiser BB made to take a different size bearing in the Bottom Bracket?

RATTY:
Have you checked the chain tension? and that the chain ring and sprocket are paralel?

HUTCHMAN:
also is the resistance constant or loose then tight?if loose then tight,then your chainring probably isn't running concentric,it'll need centering.

Bren Gunn:
Have you got the bearings in the right way around?

Waxintaxin:
concentric

nice word
