Hi guys, so do you know if your bottom bracket has gone? What are the tell tale signs? I have Campag Record from 2003 so it has done well I guess, but it sounds, when you begin riding, very dry and makes a clinking sound, this does subside especially when descending but re-appears when riding uphill or getting out of the seat.

So without going and spending out on a new bb, does it need replacing or just re-greasing? Or maybe looking at and then deciding? Help!

    They are generally sealed - have you checked everything on the drive system is tight - strip and re-assemble.

    Look at pedals, bb cup tightness, chain rings etc !

    A Record 2003 BB should last years !
