Just received a Cotic FlareMax from a mate, who previously had Eagle AXS installed on it. Frame has a Nukeproof Horizon DUB BB.
Now, I'm installing the same groupset but a different crankset (still DUB obviously) but I cannot get it to spin smoothly. Bearings feel fine without spindle in, but with everything installed and done up, 4.5mm spacer on DS and preload set to remove play, it feels fucked.
As I understand, the Nukeproof bearings are replaceable, so could it be they're not seated in the cups properly? Any other ideas welcome
