Not yet, my escalation plan is as follows:
Tonight: strip, clean with Isopropyl, install fresh bearings with teflon grease.
I don't expect this to work, but I'll try it.
Monday: drop the bike into Bespoke on Jermyn street for them to use their BB30 ream to ensure that the shell is bang on spec in terms of diameter and roundness (although of course any ovalisation won't be dealt with).
I don't expect this to work either, but I'll try it.
Tuesday: pull everything out, clean, loctite bearings in.
I really hope this works, otherwise we have:
Wednesday: throw bike in Thames.
