  • Hey all, does anyone have any experience with the 2017-18 disc supersixes? I'm getting a monstrous BB creak (+some play I believe) and not sure how to fix it. It's even worse since I pressed in replacement bearings yesterday as the old ones were knackered.

    Firstly does anyone have any idea what BB this is... I think it might be a wheels - it seems to be threaded so I'm guessing it isn't the original (FYI its been rubbed when I tried to use a FSA converter which did NOT go well - should be all black metal).

    Unfortunately I can't remove it as I dont have a BB tool that large (48.5mm). I suppose it also could be loose after pressing yesterday

    Options;

    1. buy a tool, remove and replace with same BB + loctite/similar given I know the bearings are OK (+eventually have to buy a new power meter)
    2. replace the BB with a new ?PF/BB30a (not sure which it is). Run the risk of it happening again (+eventually have to buy a new power meter)
    3. replace the BB and switch to Hollowtech with my power meter + old crankset
    4. pay someone to do one of the above just for piece of mind.

    Any advice welcome!

  • ^ was also going to say just give the rear qr a quick grease and re-tighten. You probably already know this but always worth checking.

  • God if it's that I'll be fuming. Cranks are off for the 4th time... it didn't feel that loose though thankfully.

    Cheers for the advice, will give it a go
