Scilly.Suffolk-
Fixed the link, I hope. And yep, was a hollowtech 2. Got a Tiagra one in there now but spotted this thing the other day and was curious.
TurtleRecall
There was a load of thick white grim old gone off/contaminated grease. I'll blame Ribble for that one.
All cleaned up and with a brand new BB and plenty of fresh grease in there now.
Edit: to be fair, it's been in that bike since new (about 5 years ago) and been ridden pretty much every day for commuting, touring and general riding in all kinds of shit weather with absolutely no care or maintenance (of the BB anyway).
Out of interest, are these bottom brackets worth considering?
