Switching from internal to External BB

Post by PatBoySlim » 15 Feb 2012 21:46

Hi all,

Ive been getting a few creeks from my BB and wanted to switch from internal to external BB as the external one on the wifes Specialized Dolce elite seem's so much smoother, and on the more expensive versions of my Specialized Allez it is fitted (to the same frame)

Came across this : http://www.spadout.com/iv/how-to-instal ... m-bracket/

Does anyone know were I can get my frame Chased/faced and an idea of price ?

Thanks in advance,

Pat.

Hi Pat, I can install the BB and face your frame for £20 plus the price of the bottom bracket depending on which one you fancy.
If you have standard square taper cranks you may need to upgrade them also.
Have a word if you're at spinning tomorrow.
