id say they were wrong bearings if really tight to go on, all the ones ive had have fitted perfect, take the crank and the old bearing to a bearing company to get correct ones.

Lee, you replaced them because they were chewed up on the INSIDE ??? ???

Mate, you're losing the plot you know..... no-one can see the inside of your BB :2funny:

A decent sealed BB will last years unless you ride it heavy round dirt tracks every day bud - just put the original bearings back in and if you're still twitching, pop the little bearing covers off the new ones and put them onto the old ones :daumenhoch:

See you at MK again bud :coolsmiley:
