Bottom Bracket

Just a typical bottom bracket tear down and build.  Grease was totally dried up.  Removed ball bearings from cages, cleaned cages and bearings, cleaned inside of cups.  Place balls back in cages, applied fresh grease to bearings and cups and installed.  Installed cranks with new cotters from Bikesmith.  Need to figure something out about the fender stays, I do not believe the ones that are on th bike are original.  Might have to consider stays from Velo Orange.  Will think about this one.
