Hej Sten, It is good to hear I am not the only one. I'll have to check if there is a tolerance on the BB, although that doesn't worry me. Tolerance doesn't matter for the riding experience. Tacking the shell seems a little crude. I'll try clamping it down using a bolt and large washer, having the washer pushing on the shell, keeping it im place. Something like that anyway regards, Dirk On 03.08.2010 22:10, S.
