I guess 31 is on about the entire sealed bearing unit, not the individual bearing. It does work if you can get the entire race out cleanly.
10,000 miles, what that 18 months? Does not sound that great a life span, but then again you pust a bigish gear which puts more wear?
I don't use frame saver but it seems like a good idea, but then again we don't get the salt on the road over here that really eats steal.

your right tommy, sorry for being quick/brief, VB.
there are numbers on the bearing race/case for the external/ inner diameter,and width. plenty of places on-line to order from, and should only cost a few quid each, also, it's worth asking for stainless. i work in a printers and find they last much longer -
Can't find it just now, but there was a link on here a few weeks back to a comparison between genuine shimano BB bearings and some other make. The article was scathing about the quality of the non-Shimano BB bearings and had images of how well the shimano sealed unit seals were constructed.
Sorry I can't find it just now, but it was quite a good article.

Shot bearings

There goes my bottom bracket.
The thing that bugs me though, is that it's a titanium BB that is sealed. How on earth did the bearings happen to be shot after only a 10,000 miles or so?
Ah well, anyone know the best thing to do with shot bearings? Replace the bearings or just buy a new BB. Price and performance are factors.
Oh, and does anyone here use Frame Saver?
