My RaceFace standard 73mm BB is gritty and grinding a bit.
My question is can the sealing and bearings be removed easily enough to flush out dirt and repack making sure there is plenty of grease.
How to flush out the dirt exactly?
Which grease to use as I have all purpose bright red like lipstick colour waterproof grease which should do the job…?
Bearing in mind I have the BB tool to remove cups or is it a case of leaving cups installed in frame and just prizing the seals off and bearings out.
Ideally I’d have an air compressor but that could end up like a scene out of kill bill.
If this is not a possible option as would rather save the pounds than buy a new BB. Are Hope BBs well sealed and smooth as I do like ceramic BBs, have had good experience of FSA ones in the past.
If anyone can vouch for the Hope ceramic then I may, may just upgrade.
