didnt realise the bearings were sided :-[ :-[ (as i said first build)!
how do you tell which way round they go?
sorry if this is a really stupid question
THE TUF*NECK:
is your chain con and over your free wheel? does the cranks spin free with the chain off?
lazychubs:
is it sealed bearings ie new type cranks
if so is the spacer the right lenght in betwen bearings
new type aint sided .try slackening the arms a bit and spin cranks

The open end of the bearing race should be facing inwards. So the side that reveals the ball bearings face inwards into the BB mounting cups in the frame. Use lots of grease and you don't need to tighten much more that finger tight... just untill any unwanted movememnet (sideways) has gone. This is what I've done anyways... and a very similar procedure with the headset. Hopw this helps
