Hi all,

I've just removed my FSA MegaExo BB and installed a Dura Ace BB, but it's seems a very tight fit with the FSA Gossamer chainset.

I was told it'd be fine, but I had to really force the spindle through the BB and it's not fully inserted.

It's about half a centimetre out on the driveside, so it's causing an issue with my chain line.

Is it just a case of giving it a whack to make it go through that tiny amount more?

I obviously don't want to hit it too hard in case I damage the BB.

Cheers.

    Why the desire to change BB if you are keeping the chainset?
    Yellow is the new Black.

    The FSA BB was terrible and unfathomably expensive to replace.

    Had started to develop knocks and had play in it, and that seems to be a regular occurence for others who use it, so I was told I'd be able to install a Dura Ace one [cheaper and better] and keep the chainset.

    Panic over...

    I just decided to hit it harder than what seemed reasonable... and it worked. :)
