Bbright to gxp adapter

Hi all,

I'm putting together a cervelo r3 team 2012 with full sram red. In order to do this I've used a wheelsmith adapter to convert the bbright to gxp. All seems ok and the fit looks good, however, the bearings do feel a little tight. Not rough just stiff. I'm thinking this is normal as the grease is thick in the bb bearings until you get going but just wanted a little advice. If it helps, the cranks turn about 2/3 of a revolution then stop when you turn by hand.

Thanks
Ross

Sounds like bearing seal drag - assuming that the cranks rotate smoothly under light pressure and there's no 'sticky' points? It takes a while for the bearings to 'wear in' a little

Thanks for the reply. They rotate fine under hand pressure (no pedals yet!). I'll get out over the weekend and see how it goes

Cheers
