I have a possibly naive question:
I am used to conventional crankset/axle with internal bottom bracket races. Now when these wear out and if you have left it a bit long to replace the botttom bracket you get pitting on the axle and have to replace it. For the hollowtech 2 cranksets and any cranksets with external races and a combined axle/crankset do you have to replace the whole crankset? I guess you have to be very careful about the condition of your bottom bracket races so you replace them before you damage your crankset, right?
