hay guys,
My BB has started making a hell of a racket. creaking and rattling all over the shop!
is it ****ed?
Probably
No, all BB are meant to make noises like that.
What variety?
its a, Shimano SM51 Hollow Tech 2
Definitely buggered. Replaceroo time.
Have you tried taking it apart, cleaning and re-greasing? Sometimes they just need a good clean out.
not tried re-greasing, will try and have a look tonight if i can borrow the tools of a buddy.
would this fit as a replacement? it is a orange crush (2011)

For £17 and twenty mins in the garage you will have solved your problem.
for £85 saving i have cleaned and re-greased the bb on my cx bike 5 times.

Someone has more money than sense if you change a BB every time is makes a noise!
