  • You and I can strip and rebuild a conventional BB (although I personally CBA), but we're a long way from typical, even among 'proper' cyclists.

    Well, I've never done it, and I'm far too off to fit in your comment. I'll clean and re-grease the S75 this winter for the first time (technically second, see the next reply), by myself.

    But I think it's an over-exaggerated issue. The simpler the better, less moving parts, better it is. And I convinced myself numerous times. Always doubted myself, but realized I always do a better job myself than the 'situated' mechanics. Two years ago I was completely clueless, now I acquired all the tools and doing everything myself. Was burned too many a times already.

    How can you make this statement then argue that a bottom bracket with 2 cups, a lockring, a spindle, 2 bearing cages and umpteen bearings is better that a bottom bracket that comes in 2 pieces?
