Having serviced my BB for the first time after 8,000km I discovered that it doesnt look too tidy...
Ive cleaned it and replaced the bearings, so that should be fine.
However, I noted that the surface of the axle had sanded down on the contact points with the bearings - do i need to worry/can I do anything against it?
Would it make sense to drill a drain hole into the BB shell to allow water to dry/drain our would a drain hole make it even worse?
Cheers
