There was a annoying creaking when pedaling with even a small force, coming from the bottom bracket area. It developed without warning and seemed to apear the first ride after a weekend of tough climbing. I took the chain set off to clean up a bit and found some curls of metal in the bottom bracket. Picture is attached.
Anyone seen this before? Is this trouble? Time to replace? Couldn't get a decent shot of the bottom bracket but it seems to look ok.
There's a scoring where the edge of the bearing sits. The curls of metal came from the inside edge of the bearing but i guess they could have ended up there when i removed the chain set. Anyone got adive or opions?
Thanks,
Keith
