Im sure there was a way we used to stop Bottom Bracket boots moving years ago but cant remember now....
My Bb boot is spinning around when i pedal, any ideas guys?
-
double sided tape perhaps :-\
-
Didn't we used to put them in boiling water to soften them, then fit it and it would shrink into place when it cooled down. :-\
(Could be talkin shite)

That's just how you're supposed to fit them innit
-
Awesome, Cheers for the thoughts guys will try :D
-
Wrap a cable tie round it. :daumenhoch:
It'll look shit but it'll work. :D
-
I've some different coloured cable ties I could send you a couple.
What colour is the boot?
-
Is it because your centre hole for the spindle/crank needs enlarging slightly ???
-
didn't think about the centre hole thing and havent tried hot water either.
I dont think ill go down the cable tie route but thanks for the offer :)

I think you might have to
If you already fitted the boot (without softening it first) then you may have stretched it too much to begin with
You may be lucky with the hot water, but if it's still too baggy at least the ties should keep the cack out
The centre hole should be as tight as Peter J the day before pay day

+1 :)
