After four builds I should know this by now.......
« on: July 07, 2012, 02:44 PM »
A noob question, I know, and you would think I would remember after four builds, but here goes...

Bearing races in the headset and BB orientate oppositely, as I remember, but which is which?  :-\

In a headset do the open side of the races face outwards towards the crowns, or inwards towards the cups?  ???

Ditto for the BB races (OPC Looseball)?  ???

Thanks,

Clean.

*ps* Feel free to take the pish, especially Spen.  :daumenhoch:

Sixteen thirty-two. What is that? A year?   No, it's your top score on Pole Position.

Open bit always  faces the crown Rich   :)

i.e

both face outward on conventional headset

both face down on a Hatta or Tange 125 lp type headset

For some reason I am still convinced that on the Bottom Bracket the race goes the opposite way.  :idiot2:

Fooking idiot, Clean.  :uglystupid2:

That's what I thought, and is how I put my others together; thanks.  :daumenhoch:

Looks like there are a lot of RADsters with badly built bottom brackets out there if this thread is anything to go by!  :2funny:

If you put it together dry ie no grease, both ways round you will see that there is a right and a wrong way. The race will sit completely flush one way only.

You should have bought a GT! :LolLolLolLol:
