I recently purchased a used Centaur Superlite Bottom Bracket on ebay. The shell on the BB is loose and rattles around alot and too my knowledge its not meant to, is it? Ive only really had experience with shimano UNs and a veloce BB so I'm not sure. I've messaged him and he says thats how it came out and I need to leave it like that to put it in but he is willing to give a refund. So is it meant to like that or should I send it back? cheers in advance for any help, I hope Ive left enough info feel free to ask for more or pictures etc

Never heard it called 'Superlite' but certainly some models of Centaur have a 'free' non-drive side cup which if loose allows the centre sleeve to move around. As long as the bearings are smooth it should be fine when correctly installed in the BB.

Yes, the later models have a loose NDS cup. The rest should be solid though.

It is a decent bit lighter than the Veloce model and has triple bearing races as opposed to two.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
