Hello my Imaginary Friends
I have a 2006 Scott CR1, and I am considering giving it a new crankset and BB for Christmas.
Trouble is, I've never heard the BB talking, so I don't know what language would be appropriate - English or Italian?
Anybody know?
Thanks
James

My bike blog. Long on rumination, rambling and opinion. Why let facts ruin everything?

Currently a standard FSA crank (not sure of model) with 53/39 and MegaExo.
Contemplating a 53/39 Gossamer also with MegaExo.
I spin WAY more than I grind, so it can only help.

Just remember to keep a nice, even pressure on your crank.
I'm more of a spinner, myself. Once learnt, never forgotten.
