Hey all I have an old Specialized M2 purple haze from 92 (I think) and I have noticed some play in the cranks. I took of the chain to confirm it wasn't the freewheel and indeed something in amiss in the bottom bracket.
The more I learn about repairing bikes the more I realise I know very little, seems like an uphill battle... :roll:
Anyway I don't have the tools necessary to remove the BB just yet but because there are 1000 factors in deciding if a BB will fit or not I wanted to check if anyone knew what BB replacement I need offhand.
The cranks are specialized and the BB shell seems to be wider than 73 but maybe I am not getting a good angle with my ruler...
Anyway anybody that could enlighten me would be much appreciated! :mrgreen:
