I was wondering what was causing so much lateral play down around the
hub and why my tyre was rubbing on the frame to the point that it was
no longer ridable...turns out I completely split open my right hand
bearing casing.
The bearing holders on this frame are too small in diameter so that the
bearings don't fit snugly and there is a lot of pressure at two points
the whole time. My guess is that this is the cause.
The frustrating thing is the the right hand crank is the one that's
really tough to get off and I don't own a crank puller.
I can't wait for this new muni frame of mine...that's when I'm going
for the full upgrade. I also broke a spoke too and am considering a
new rim and smaller tyre than the 3" Gazz that has served me so well.
I figure I'm doing a fair bit of more technical stuff and it would be
nice to have as light a wheel as possible. But that's another story
all together.
Here's a picture...
