Hope Stainless Steel Bottom Brackets
I was gifted a used one these that has quickly developed a creak. Is it worth swapping out the proprietary bearings or is the design (no shim between 24mm axle and bearing) prone to creaking?
The others don't have any kind of supportive spacer/shim either, it's just a protective cover jobby.
There should be a dust cover/shim between the cranks and the bearings.
