Easy job ;)

Missio was... just repair this my mothers old bike so my wife can ride with it to work and back.

First I changed all cables and housings, also tyres must be changed.
Then seatpost was so stuck that I must cut it and insert clamp again.
Stem was so stuckd that I did have any chage to lower it..
But finally after first small ride, I was only going to tighten bracket...
Then comes fun part...

I tighten it, but it did not move anymore... so I take it out...
That brown thing is bearings...

or did you expect any problems with it in the near future?

Does that not take people back though? Back to the days of re-greasing BB's every month, before the days of fit and forget sealed? The glorious sight of a knackered and rusty bearing cage, and a BB shell full of rusty brown crap!!!

wow :shock:
ain't it possible that rust from the tubing collected at the bb? looks dangerous...
