Just noticed a little side-to-side play in the cranks of my 2011 Langster and I'm guessing that the bottom bracket is on the way out. A bit disappointing as it's only done 3,300 miles but, judging by other threads, it seems to be a fairly common failing. (Why is that?)
I'm a bit reluctant to go for a straight Sugino 68 x 103mm replacement as, presumably, that is likely to fail over a similar mileage. I notice that there are other makes - Tange seems to be the same unit with a different brand name, Token do a 68 x 103 that might be worth trying. Has anyone had experience of these (or other) bottom brackets? Any recommendations?
