Couple of problems - I have a Dawes Galaxy circa 2004.
I also have a crunchy bottom bracket - it creaks and cracks when climbing.
I know it's not pedals or chainrings that is the problem as I've taken them off and the noise remains under load (me standing on cranks)
The cranks say they are hollowtech but I've no idea if the BB is octalink or should be removed with a crank puller or what.
So far with various experimentation i have not been able to remove cranks let alone BB.
So - questions. Firstly has anyone which type of beastie this might be? Secondly could you point to how I should go about removing this and replacing the BB.
Cheers
Gav
