  1. I fitted a Dura Ace 10 speed chainset (FC7800) on my TCR Giant about a month (900km) ago. The chain and bike are cleaned after most rides, though being careful not to get degreases in any of the bearings. Last weekend, during a particularly muddy on-road ride, the bottom bracket developed a squeak.
    I have cleaned it all down as usual including refitting the BB/crankset. No better. The non-driveside sealed bearing feels as if it is sticking a little as it is rotated, can this be dismantled??
    The threaded inserts in the carbon shell are parallel, and unlike some other posters, I have no problems sliding the axel into the bottom bracket, i.e. no hammers required. I have fond that the finger tightened lock “nut” seems to tighten itself over time???
    Please help, the squeak is driving me crazy on the cold winter evenings!

  2. Someone must have come across this???? Any ideas??
