Hi,
My '07 Specialized Epic has XT Hollowtech II cranks and Bottom bracket with the external type bearing cups. After 8 months of use, there is play in the bottom bracket. Can I adjust the bearings? I have checked the Park tool web site for instruction, but cannot understand it. I understand the black cap on the non drive side of the crank is an adjuster. Do I have to loosen the allen bolts on the crank arms and then just tweek that cap with the special tool? Any advise welcome! Cheers. |

is the play in the bottom bracket (ie the cups are worn/loose) or are the cranks loose? My advice. Take the cranks off. Take the BB out. Copper grease on the BB threads. BB back in. cranks back on. test. |
