So my bb has developed an intermittent tick which is just about driving me up the wall. Given a new bb can be bought for around £20 I figured swapping it out for a new one is the easiest solution except I have no real idea what this involves.
So general comments/tips/advice welcome.
My thoughts are along the lines of remove cranks, use bb tool, replace with new bb, replace cranks... Is that the long and short of it?
Also when purchasing a new bb I appear to have the option of with or without axle... Given I retaining my old cranks I guess I should also keep my current axle as they will form something of a bond.
The current bb is a 68*103 that came with my langster.
Cheers for any/all help.
