hello all
bb has begun the dreaded creak and is now due for service/ new bearings. it is the cx1 model with the si sl cranks (i think bb30a)?
any recommendations for a replacement that won’t begin to creak and still allow the original purple cranks to fit?
thank you
Hope pf to fit job jobbed
Wheels mfg threaded pf. Put one in my Giant when it started to creak.
Hey. Mine started to creak.
I replaced the bearings. I ordered the correct ones from Westbrook cycles. Superb to deal with. I cleaned bottom bracket up and re greased the bottom bracket And spot on now
Knocked old ones out and made my own bearing press from m12 threaded bar and the bits from a park tools bearing drift set.
you will also require a special tool from Cannondale to remove the cranks. Silly Cannondale invention. (Parts only amount to paying a bike shop to do all the work)
hope me that helps
Special tool not needed to remove Si cranks. Just a cheap crank puller (£5 on wiggle) and a coin. Lots of videos on youtube.
