Um, help.
Replacing the bottom bracket on my 2013 Spicy 516 (raceface turbine unit) which I was sure was a pressfit BB92 (BB91-41A), even more sure after Lapierre confirmed, and I did thunk that any BB91-41A compatible BB should work in the place of any other.
However.
My replacement superstar BB ( http://www.superstarcomponents.com/en/angletech-pressfit-ht2-bottom-bracket.htm ) is much narrower than the stock Raceface team XC unit which, now I've cleaned the dust off and looked closely, has indicators on the direction to tighten it, suggesting that it's a threaded BB. I could just keep removing stuff until I find out, but I have a ride tomorrow and don't want to disturb a slightly shot BB without a compatible replacement.
So....have any 2013 Spicy owners replaced their BB, and what flavour was it that came out?
If the cups have arrows for tightening, and notches for a removal tool, then it's not going to be a press-fit. Press fit only sits proud of the shell by about 3mm, threaded by about 10mm if you need any more confirmation.
Just make sure that you have correct tool and it's goes in perfectly straight. The earlier spicy was know for weak bb shells don't know about the later ones.
Cheers guys. It is a threaded BB not a pressfit as Lapierre told me. I had hoped it was threaded with an adaptor, but no.
Anyone want an unused pressfit bb....
