Seized Bearings

After a little inspection and cleaning of the bike, I discovered that the non-drive side bottom bracket bearings had seized. I looked at the crank arm spindle, and there is a smear of plastic where the spindle meets the bottom bracket bushing. I receive the new BB today, so it will be interesting to see if I can notice the reduction in drag.

My plan is to race Red Wing this weekend, but it will be dependent on a lot of different stuff:
  • Grandma's 90th birthday the evening before.
  • I will have to come down from up north.
  • Family coming into town and meeting up at the cabin.
  • Quantity of rum runners consumed on Saturday...
  • Weather, no rain or mud allowed
