Question on BB30 bottom brackets on Cannondales
Had to get the Bottom Bracket on my Cannondale Synapse replaced ; was done by the shop I bought the bike from .
Its Cannondale specific bottom bracket although I think others are adopting the standard .
Any how . The cranks turn very smoothly without the chain on . However the cranks dont turn freely ie if I spin them without the chain on they barely turn a full revolution .
Done about 50 miles and checked them again and the same run very smoothly but dont turn freely . Doesnt "seem" to affect the performance on road .
Is this normal ? My winter bke with some crappy octalink BB which spin freely
If its not should I be concerned as it doesnt "seem" to affect the preformance ?
Its over £90 (70 for the BB and 20 to fit ) so dont want to have to do this to often .

give the grase some time to spread out.
But i would have thought that 50 miles should have sorted it.
give it a few more miles and check again."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
