Hi
So to round off the bottom bracket post all that was left was to regrease and refit.
Didn't think i mentioned this last time, one of the balls from the old races was floating about inside the bb shell, not been looked after vary well.
These where intially bought for the lizard but that has giant races so was quite chuffed when it fit the fly.
All cleaned up using WD40, like using this at is cheap i just make sure i wash it off after use.
So pic shows a c spanner and magnetic dish, get a dish and a pick up tool really invaluale tools, also match your ball bearing orientation from your old races which usually means the balls facing outwards, tighten up your cup by hand and then add the lockring, you want your axle to spin but you don't want excess play so play about with the tightness of the cup then snug up the lock ring using your c spanner.
Another tip i picked up was to attach your crank arms loosely and spin them to see how well you have tightened and grease your bottom bracket, if it needs adjusted just pop your crank arms off a play about till your dialed in.
