Im fixing up a little bike with a non-standard BB shell so I have to do the bearings loose ball.
Its being a right pain, all the bearing keep falling out! I know the balls are the right size though (8mm)
I was just wondering, with a one piece crank what is the general rule for packing BB's
Are you supposed to leave a gap? Or fill it up completely?
Thanks in advance. :daumenhoch:

It will be full but with a gap.
The balls have to move so packing an extra ball in would be too tight!!
So there should be around 1/2 a balls width gap or so!!
If you fill it will balls and there isn't a gap then you have too many!!
