While out with a mate last week my chain came off, something thats not ever happened before & as I have a full chain guard we had a bit off a job getting it back on.
My friend noted how 'wobbly' my pedal/arms where, to be honest thye been like for ages & although I had noticed I just assumed some movement was normal, he reckoned my bearings had gone & the next day he replaced them for me, whih seemed to do the trick, but after a couple of day they started to wobbly again.
I've been out today & relised we wouldn't get home until getting dark & i'd not put the lights on the trailer so i popped into a nearby bike shop & bought some cheapies.
I mentioned the wobble & bearings, the chap looked at my bike & seemed puzzled...He said I have a sealed unit & it shouldn't be possible to change just the bearings, he advised I should get a whole new bottom bracket fitted & could do it for £30 ish or more for a better quality one.
I looked on Ebay & can buy the same as I alreday have (Prowheel 28/38/48) for under £15 inc PP
Although my technical knowledge is quite limited I am pretty good at picking things up & fixing stuff as long - as I have a rough guide/manual to follow LOL.
Any advice on whats best etc would be muchly appreciated - cheers guys xx
