Swivel:
I'm spending this afternoon putting together my bike for sunday and i've got round to doing the 1 piece crank, and well, its shite. Its not over tightened, but at the sametime its not flowing freely. The bearings are definately around the right way but its totally stumped me now :( The cups are in tight and its heavily greased up....

Help please....

try it without the chain?
if its still shite then make sure the cup and cone surfaces are not worn or pitted, and that the bearings are the correct size.
make sure its locked up properly as it may be tightening as you spin.

Swivel:

Hi mate. The cups and cone surfaces are brand new, straight out of the box and tapped in today. The bearings are also from that box, so that same size. Its definately tightened up enough but not too much so it totally squeezes the bearings. Arrghhh so frigging frustrating this bike but I love it at the same time.... :(
