The patient is a 2002 Habanero with 2x10 Campy Chorus.
Yesterday I noticed a bottom bracket click when standing on it, once per crank revolution.
Having never serviced the unit in over 10K miles, I pulled it apart after today's club ride. This
was the one piece of the Campy group for which I didn't seem to have any documentation, so I felt
pretty stupid once I had it apart and found it was sealed! There was a little bit of rust on the
inside of the titanium bottom bracket shell - is this abnormal?
My questions: the documentation I subsequently found on the web suggests that there are two sets of
bearings on the right side, and one on the left. Makes sense to me. But upon first glance it isn't
really obvious (on a sealed unit) which side is which. Is there some magic way of telling, such as
the lettering reading the correct way from beind the bicycle?
And any ideas what I might look at with respect to the original problem? The crankarms seemed snug,
and nothing felt funny on the Speedplay X1's.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
