Wheels of Happiness
The squeakng sound of the BB of the GTS bike bothered me to no end. It is good that I have the tools to remove the BB. And when I was nd able to remove this, I found out: the BB was encrusted with dirt; the shaft had gotten out of the bearing.ace. It was loose.
I therefore cleaned the BB side, the axle, put in some fresh grease and tapped the shaft into the bearing. I tested it today. And now the squeaking sound is gone. However, there is a play and pretty soon, I will have to replace the BB
