merziac you make a good point, I was just assuming the best thing to do was replace the old school bb. In my thinking, the old style would require more regular maintenance... Something she will not do. Thoughts? Is this true given she probably won't put that many miles on it.
Theoretically, couldn't I just get a cartridge with the same spindle length and slap the original crank back on? Or are there magic tricks to remove rust from cups and bb parts? New cartridge is ~$15.
Thanks for participating. It makes it more enjoyable!
