Tioga Sealed BB Trouble
« on: March 29, 2008, 05:14 PM »
Need some help fella's !

I opted for a Tioga Sealed BB this time but having trouble getting the nut on that secure's the spider onto the crank !

The nut side obviously needs to sit against the spider as the other side sits onto the bearings - the only trouble I cant get it tight as no tool will fit between the nut and the spider ! I have even used a Tioga spanner and that is too thick in diameter - Any idea's  :-\

I had the same problem with the same kit, bought a spanner from Decathlon and ADJUSTED the thinkness on the grindwheel at work, if you are near Dagenham race track tommorow I will have it with me.

Also it's not a completly sealed set, use a hose carefully when washing, as when I stripped mine there was signs of dirt and muck in it.

Cheers gary that would be spot on !

I went down my mates at the bike shop and his spanner was a tad thick too !!

If you could do one for me that would be great - I got half a dozen of these bb's so it would be a waste not to use them !


Let me know what I owe ya fella

Nick, now have spanner waiting to be sent, please PM your adress, once it's posted I will let you know the cost the spanner was £8.95, cant see postage costing more than a quid.
Never noticed before but the spanner is made from 4130 Chromo

didn't you buy one off me? i thought you tightened it up prior to fitting and i have never needed a dodgey spanner so far.
