Ever wish you'd just left your bike alone in between rides ?
Felt some roughness the other day, so took the chain off and sure enough one side of the BB is rough as. Oddly, the bearing on the other side is not tight in the cup either.
Problem is, the last time I changed a BB, it went INSIDE the shell and came with it's own axle (it was octalink though – at the time that seemed cutting edge !) !
Having looked for a replacement, I am confuzled by the different standards and whether or not they all fit my crank axle (which is bonded to the chain ring crank)
The bike is a 2010 Orange P7.
The BB is a raceface X type according to the website, but isn't conspicuously marked on the cups.
The crankset is Truvativ firex.
What's compatible / good / cheapish ?
What are my options / what will fit
