: What is the deal with the older press in BB? I'm looking at a used Merlin that has this BB setup? Are the BB's easily available and installable by dealers? Are they a more expensive than the threaded BB's?
Hi JB,
When you get one,take it! Over the lifetime the
cheapiest solution. Merlin offer a toolset for
maintenance (some washers,srews....). The bearings
are international standards (#6903). You can get it in
well sorted stores for some bucks.
Make it by yourself. The first time you need 2 hours,
for replacement, the next time you finished in 15 minutes..
Please read the Insider Info at Merlins homepage
