just phone hope. they are very helpful. i think you will need the hope tool too. which is expensive in itself.

Just curious.

Same thing on my lad's Capra. Been reading about it and a few people found it wasn't the BB, it was the front chainring fixing loose.

Remove it, clean it, put it all back together - that will probably stop the noise. Did on mine. Took a year and a half before it squeaked.

Thanks guys...

Taken all apart and all tightened back up. LBS laughed when I asked about it as they've had a few in with the issue. Got it booked in for a hope one so I can change the bearings etc...

I just put new bearings in - the old ones knock out fairly easy.
