Hi all,
Was out for a ride - pretty damp but not overly wet conditions. Sound from BB sounds like its full of sand but only when I'm in the higher gears on the rear cassette - irrespective of which crank I'm in. Is this a classic? You can hear this when you spin the cranks backwards when off the bike. And I've occasionally felt a slight vibration through the left crank too on occasion.
I took it to my LBS who did a BB service (I assume taking apart and re-greasing although admit I didn't interrogate them on this). It was ok for one ride, but second ride after, a little damp, and its back again.
I'm not au-fait with it all and have tried to research but I have no idea what I've got on the bike. Izoard XP Ultegra's appear to have FSA MegaExo but I haven't found what design/type it is, and therefore what I need to look for to remedy - I'm thinking replacement seeing as servicing hasn't done it. If there aren't other options for me to look at? It runs Ultegra but I've just red that Shimano Hollowtech 2 aren't particuarly long-lasting. If they fit in the frame? Jeez I feel dumb...
Cheers,
Lee
