How hard can it be

[roadrash]

I have a hollowtech 2 bottom bracket that is grumbly, rather than strip and regrease it i decide to replace, after all I don't know how long its been in there.
Looking on high on bikes website last night I see they have both the bottom bracket and the tool that I need to remove it, check the opening hours, brill they are open Saturday morning, so off I set , 40 min drive to burscough ………...FECK THEY ARE SHUT.

return home and realise I hadn't checked winsanley bikes website , after all its only 1.5 miles from my front door, great they have what I need and they are open till 5pm , drive to winstanleys , great , at least they have the opening times right , …..hi I would like these two items please, checks computer great they have both items in, only they don't , computer says they do but they don't.....FECK......again.

sat in the car park checked halfrauds on my phone , they don't have the bottom bracket but have the tool ….yeah you've guessed it , FECK ...again when I get there , they don't have it..

FECKIN BLOODY ECK...…..HOW HARD CAN IT BE.....

No BB's, blimey. I bought the hollowtech/GXP tool from Decathlon, before I needed it.

You'll just have to re-grease for now !

oh they have bottom brackets just no hollowtech 2 …...I cant regrease I haven't got the fekin tool to remove it back to high on bikes , the website says they open Monday.....I wonder

Am I right in thinking that the ultegra hollowtech 2 bottom bracket will fit as a direct replacement for the 105 that's currently in ?? evans at Trafford centre are open tomorrow and have what I think I need

Certainly hope so. My 105 crankset (5700 series) came with an Ultegra 6800 BB. Fitting them tomorrow (I think I've got the tool)

 

[fossyant]

Yes, they are the same. PS don't go to the Trafford Centre - it's next to the Chill Factore

 

[roadrash]

ahem … @fossyant... don't go to chill factor e its called Beyond now

Forget computers, phone before travelling and get them to leave it to one side, for collection.

 

[roadrash]

oh that's what I will be doing

Probably a deliberate "mistake" on the stock availability online. They want those online orders even if they don't have it.

Whose running the book? I'll have a £1 to charity not in stock

 

[roadrash]

@Phaeton I wouldn't bet against you

 

[Ming the Merciless]

If you were closer you could borrow my hollow tech BB tool.

Thanks @YukonBoy I think I have every other tool but this is my first bike with hollowtech BB
