I have a question, not specifically RBW-related, but hopefully you'll indulge me: Having removed (and sold) a crankset from my Bleriot, I've noticed that the bottom bracket that I installed less than 200 miles ago turns rather stiffly, when turned by hand on the square-taper shaft. For comparison, I pulled out a Shimano (UN-72, I believe) unit from the parts bin. It has somewhat uncertain mileage, but may be in the vicinity of 15K miles. I'd say that it turns 2 to 3 times easier than the BB that is installed. The installed BB is a VO unit. Should I be concerned? Do they loosen up with mileage? Would I feel the difference in riding? ( I need all the help I can get!) And finally, should I just find a compatible Shimano unit to replace the current BB with? (I have no interest in going upscale, thanks). Steve
