: : 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
: BB Manuals post 1990
: Cheers Helmut
I've been trying to find out where I can buy the tools.
I've sent 2 or 3 messages to the Merlin contact listed
on this web site and have yet to get a reply. If anyone
knows how & where I can purchase the tools, please send
me a note -> rvat50@email.mot.com
Thanks,
Doug
