Had my LBS fit some Tioga Sealed BB cups into my Torker Freestylist and Skyway Street Beat the other day and went to have a play with both bikes this afternoon
I needed to whack the sealed bearings into the cups on the Torker and both seemed to go in Ok, although I'm surprised I needed to do this.
I then struggled to whack the bearings into the Street Beat on the Chanring side and only went in half way. I decided to whack in the other side and use the nut to tighten the other side but it didn't work. Had to completely fook both bearing cases trying to remove them by whacking a screwdriver from behind each one. Needed to use a thin screwdriver coz the crank (Takagi OPC) was in the way so this punched through the plastic seal (Not happy as these ain't cheap
).
Back to square one for the Street Beat but at least the crank is out. It then occurred to me that I'm probably fooked getting the sealed bearing cases out of the Torker for when I send it to SBD to work his magic.
Any thoughts?
To say I'm well p!ssed off is an understatement right now coz I can't finish me Street Beat and I'm away during the week so could be going to MK without me bikes even though I've registered for S'n'S
