Stupid advice please
GREMLIN:
Have you taken it out for a wobble yet? If all is in correctly a quick ride around usually settles the bottom bracket down and may free it up a little.
Also as above I've had a b.b that used to tighten itself up as the crank turned. Is the b.b a set, or made from a couple of seperate ones? G. :)

dunno without looking at it...

G hi mate. The bottom bracket is from one set, all brand new, well NOS ;) It just seems so blinking tight but I have hardly tightened it up at all.... really want to get this damn bike done >:(

Matt.......1 piece BB's are a bit of a pain.....but as long as you have the bearings in the right way, all you need to do is put the spider onto the crank arm, then add the lock nut that goes up against the spider and acts as the ball race for the drive side. put the drive side bearings in with lots of grease.......put crank arm through drive side and up against the bearings.
then add the non drive bearings with grease........put on non drive lock nut (with the two slots to tighten it up) do this up so there is no play in the crank arm but don't over tighten it.
then put on the final locking nut that goes up against the slotted bearing race nut you've just put on........tighten this right up and bobs your uncle........my one in my beat hasn't played up at all and it's only a cheap Halfrauds BB :daumenhoch:
