Replaced the bb on my synapse at the weekend. Used the proper park tools for removal and installation. Noticed the wavy washer wasn't really compressed so used a couple of the 0.5mm shims that came with the sram bb. Torqued it all back up to 40nm and looked good. Feels a touch stiff when spinning the cranks in the stand.
Reckon that'll loosen up with a ride or have the shims caused it or have I fucked up the bearing installation?
