Hey. I've been running a Lemond Fillmore for about a year now, picked it up second-hand and am finding it really hard to determine the factory BB. All I know is that it's an external BB, with Bonty GXP crankset. Research shows it could be a Tru-Vativ Giga X-Pipe bottom bracket but I'm just not sure.
The outer shell (?) of the BB has been coming loose recently, which may tie in to the knocking sound per rev I've been getting, to the point where I could actually tighten it by hand. I'm going back to work as a messenger in the next few days and all this worries me somewhat. Anyone think they could have the right tool to tighten it up? I'll provide beer and/or whatever. Tonight or tomorrow night would be ideal. Am Manor House way but will ride anywhere.
Cheers!
