IMG 0640 Yay beach. IMG 0650 :office::eye::mountain: IMG 0651 Here ya go. IMG 0667 Happy boy. IMG 0668 Bottom bracket time. Note to future self: Take out the middle spacer on this old crankset. It is narrower than modern ones. IMG 0670 Pretty classic 68mm.
IMG 0672 Spacers that came with it are 2.5mm. IMG 0674 Inside width with spacer. IMG 0675 IMG 0676 This makes some assumptions that don't pan out here. IMG 0677 IMG 0678 So what size new wrench do I need?
IMG 0679 Now that right there don't look right. IMG 0680 IMG 0681 That through-shaft is quite a bit short. IMG 0683 IMG 0684 IMG 0686
IMG 0689 IMG 0691 IMG 0692 4mm off. Take out 2x2.5mm spacers, add back 2x0.5mm spacers. Gee. Just what the old BB had. Hmm. IMG 0693 IMG 0695 Much better. Buttoned it up and no more free play. The bearings were getting worn out even though they were still smooth.
