Hey all, I was getting ready to go ride today and noticed some play in my bottom bracket. I have a Race Face Diabolous setup with the external BB setup. There is about a 1/8 inch play (the spindle slides back and forth in the shell).
I went to tighten it up and couldn't get the crankbolt to go in any farther and pull it all together (feels like it is bottoming out - like it is supposed to) So I went to take it all apart (maybe throw a spacer or two in) but ran into a stranger problem.
I got the dustcap and crankbolt out but the driveside arm but the spider will not release from the lefthand crankarm and spindle. It's like they are fused together or something, never had this problem before....and I have had this apart half a dozen times!!!
Been beating on it with a mallet to no avail....getting really frustrated...I just want to get it fixed and go ride with the bros....any suggestions? Thnaks.
