FSA Gossamer BB Cap

TheHound

So in the midst of riding today I hear 2 metallic pings seperated by half hour or so and assume I've ran over something so carry on.

When I get home I notice that the caps that were on the BB are now missing. I assume these are just aesthetic and not a problem? The 1 missin on the drive side means I can see right through to the non drive side. Should I get replacement caps? And if so where?

Thanks for any advice.

I'll add that the cranks themselves are perfectly solid with no play

If this is the MegaExo version it should have one on the NDS. This is used to when fitting the cranks to pull the two 'halves' together and stop any untoward play (slog I the bearings). You should be fine until then, so you order one up from CRC/Wi##le and wait for the post. Then use a little thread lock when fitting it.

So is it just a matter of buying the left hand crank bolt and the screw on cap comes with it?

Anyone know where I can get this cap? It's not the bolt that holds on the left crank. Just the cap that covers around it.

For anyone having this problem in future.

FSA Self Extracting Crank Arm Cap. That's the name of the part. Though finding 1 is a pain.
