Sugino 75 BB install question

Posted on
  • Hello everyone:
    I just got an used Sugino 75 BB.
    But when I want to install them, I find a problem.
    It is about the steel ball.

    I find that all steel ball was putted in a plastic bag separately, how to install them into the cup, just put them in?
    I also search for Google,

    The still balls put in a circle.

    Does anyone can explain this? did it miss some thing?
    Many thanks

  • if you coat the cups with a healthy dollop grease, you should be able to get the balls to sit still long enough to fit them....provided you have enough....(balls that is)

  • Thanks mate!
    The numbers of the ball is enough.
    it is 22 in total right?

    but what is that in the blow pic?

  • Thanks mate!
    From the link, all steel balls are all in a steel bearing!
    Did I lost this?

  • So I should remove the cages from inside my Sug 75 BB? I am all for saving weight!

  • hi pipwish
    you can sell the cages to me.

  • Have you got the cages?
    Thought the original question was " I don't have the cages, how do I put the bearings in?"

    Yes, 22 is the correct number, but if they have been used before it may be better to replace them with new bearings. e.g. http://simplybearings.co.uk/shop/p37916/1/4+inch+Diameter+Grade+10+Hardened+AISI+52100+Chrome+Steel+Ball+Bearings/product_info.html

    From Sheldon's page, see also the link to Jobst Brandt's page with contrary opinions. My own view is if i had new balls that came in 11 ball cages i'd probably use the cages, but i wouldn't mess around trying to clean used cages or find cages if i didn't have them - i'd just use new loose balls. Taking things apart just to remove the cages would be silly. It's not worth the wear & risk to your crank tapers. If you care that much about weight you need a different sort of bb (and probably a different bike).

    hi pipwish
