Well the replacement BB was a big fail, the threads are different so I put the old one back in and for the time being I’ll just live with it. There’s no play in it, it just ideally needs changing, it’s a bit gritty.
What is really frustrating is that I sold a NOS FAG BB a couple of years ago for next to nothing, I didn’t use it on the previous project. Hopefully a saved eBay search will yield another.
But another quick ride out to the pub this evening and it rides really well, silent since I sorted out the suspension block. Recently it’s been the only bike I’ve been riding, perfect for bombing around Oxford, so glad I pulled the trigger on this one, it’s great to have a Brompton in my life again. This one is definitely a keeper.
