Truvativ Rouleur BB/Crank installation question
Does anyone know if it is necessary to install the clear plastic shell
assembly that connects between the two bottom bracket cups? The manual shows it being installed, but when I do it rubs against the screw used to hold the bottom bracket guide to the bottom of the frame. I'm just wondering if it serves any purpose. Thanks, KJ |

Thanks, KJ The BB will work without the plastic sleeve, but it serves a useful purpose: it helps seal the bearings. I'd want the sleeve installed if it were my bike. I'd consider shortening the screw used to hold the bottom bracket cable guide to the bottom of the frame, or just install a washer (or presta valve nut) under the head to keep the end out of the way so you can install the bottom bracket sleeve. |

Thanks, KJ Put a wee washer onto the screw that holds the BB guide in the shell. KEEP the plastic sleeve. |
