So i got a new wheelset and after much thought and practice decided to go brakeless.
(Coz i dont wanna strip teh paintz off ma new rims innit)
Started riding, when i attempt to skid/apply hard resistance on the pedals, i get some slippage. So i assumed as this was the new wheelset, the cog/lockring may be loose, so i got it tightened at the LBS. Still experience slipping, so i take it back get it tightened again.
Seems fine until today, attempt to skid to slow down, i hear a metal scraping sound. The chain slips, so i pedal forward and numerous clicking and crunching sounds exude from the bike, sounds like the BB possibly? could this be the problem.
Its the standard BB on the Fuji Track, should i just swap it out. Advice would be much appreciated! Thanks
