There is an alternative if you want to breathe new life into your existing bottom bracket. Modern external type bottom brackets rely on commonly available industrial bearings (get them from any bearing/ engineering shop). A pair of replacement bearings will cost around $30—less than half the cost of a new bottom bracket. The tricky part is removing the bearings from the alloy cups that they are pressed into.
A good 2x9 set-up lessens the chain angles and related problems while providing a gear range that can be very close to that of a triple. A 1x9 drivechain goes further again, leaving just a single chainring—say goodbye to chain suck and never get stuck in the big ring half way up a hill again!
Winter is coming but it doesn’t have to signal the end of your riding. The right gear, a little planning and the right mental approach will see you bounce through winter, emerging fitter and stronger at the other side.
