I have covered about 1200 miles on my ribble road bike and have used it in all weathers (mainly bad ones!)
I have just started to get a grating noise when peddling hard so stripped down the bike with the intention of re-greasing my BB bearings, I am a bit behind the times so didn't know these hollowtech 2 bearings were maintenance free.
They turn alright but are not 100% smooth, could they be shot already?
I have got a 50+ mile club ride tomorrow so will have to chance it but will buy a replacement ASAP.
When they go is it a gradual thing or do they fail spectacularly?
