Just ranting !!!!!! I replaced my crank bearings (9 bearing caged 2" diameter) around 100 miles ago. I returned from a ride today to discover that they have disintegrated again. OK so they were only £2.50 for the pair but I'm damn sure they should have lasted longer than that. I made a point of getting then from a LBS rather than Halfrauds or such as well :rolleyes:

I'll trade you a knock, knock, knock for a high pitched metallic grinding sound if you like :rolleyes:

I'll raise you both and see you for an unidentified tinkling from the back wheel. Makes me feel like The Cincinnatti Kid. :smile:

Best guess loose spoke or bearings need greasing, replacing. BTW I'll take the tinkling over the grinding :smile:
