If the shell is either 68mm(englsh threading) or 70mm(
Italian threading, what BBs should ALL be), then the BB
should be warrantied.

I saw a Veloce BB today that had significant play after
only 1200km. I don't have the tool to service (but I may
get one), yet there seems to be no way to adjust or service--
it seemed to be installed tightly. I referred it back to
the shop that sold the bike as a probable warranty item.

It seems that either the BB shell is slightly too long or
the BB is defective.

Any other possibilty I am missing?

Hi,

There is nothing to adjust on these, unfortunately. Ride it
and chuck it when it gives out. Not a problem considering
that they cost under USD 20.

But get the right extractor and check to make sure that both
sides are screwed in properly, before replacing.

My Veloce BB (AC-S) started getting play a month ago. I took
it back and replaced it with an AC-H (hollow axle BB, often
used on Centaur cranks and rings) of same size (111 mm for
double). Works fine.
