Hi ppl ive got a 2010 Lapierre Zesty 214 and the bottom bracket has a wobble on it and also i can hear it grinding so im presuming it needs replacing, ive been looking & there's loads to choose from any advice would as always be gratefully appreciated!!!!
I got one of these:
(I think that's the right size anyway) and it's been going for over 6 months with no problems (peak district winter regular riding).
Thanks nice price too!!
BB's on the zesty's are crap, I have gone through 3 of them since 2009 and the zesty is only used twice a month these days. Problem seems to be that water gets in via the seatpost and collects around the bb shell slowly seeping through the 'o' ring seal removing the grease from the bb. Earlier this year I removed the gubbed BB myself and replaced with an anodised KCNC BB which has replacable cartridge bearings. I also sprayed a little expanding foam into the seatube to prevent any further moisture tracking down, seems to have done the trick!
Nice mate expanding foam down seatpost good idea i did notice a lot of water in bracket when i took crank off this morning so ill look into that cheers!!
