Took my bike to the LBS with a noisy BB. Turns out the carbon sleeve (?) has been damaged and so BB is loose. Spoke to Carbon Repair Place in Leatherhead as recommended and quoted possibly up to £360 + paint and would need new BB and. CHainset.
That makes the repair uneconomical. I bought the frame second hand and it’s been on Zwift duty on a Tacx Neo. Possibly that’s the problem - I’ve heard carbon and static trainers can cause issues.
Anyway - if I don’t want to pay up for a repair is there a bodge that could get the BB wedged tightly again. I accept that this may cause more issues down the line, but the frame would be written off in any case and will only have indoor duties from now on so not worried about high speed frame failure.
Useless photo below - not even sure if it’s the side that is problematic.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
