Good evening all.
Twas recently my birthday and my darling family got me the following despite me dropping hints at an Ipod! What an ungrateful sod I am but anyway.....
Sugino 75 Crank
Sugino Zen Ring
Sugino Superlap bottom bracket
My local bike shop just installed them both for me and done their usual very good job. The mechanic did express a concern that considering my bike is an all year around single speed commuter this particular Sugino bottom bracket is not "sealed" as such. The result could be that water could more easily get in the bottom bracket and might need a regular service. It would not be something I would feel confident doing myself.
Should I perhaps purchase another bottom bracket - Phil Wood perhaps? In an effort to spare my family's feelings they would not notice a different bottom bracket.
Any advice, as always, would be appreciated.
