I'll pull it apart and clean everything but I'm pretty sure I broke a bearing. Is it possible to replace parts of a bottom bracket or am I better off repaving the whole thing?

Second question. This is a MEGAEVO BB, 73mm BSA Threaded. What do I look for in a bottom bracket? Is the 73mm the only measurement I need as long as it's threaded? I see some that are $30 and some that are $150. Will it make a real difference?

Is my BB toast?

  1. :sounds like a demon:

    Yea bro, it’s done.

    You have 2 of the 3 measurements:
    -73mm BB shell width
    -BSA threaded
    -Now you just need to measure the inner diameter of both bearings. They’re probably both 24mm, maybe 30mm. Google fu all that and you’ll find options.

  2. You got bigger problems with that chainring- way too many logs and rocks. I’d start there šŸ˜‰

    Def toast but it’s not an unusual failure. Pretty straight forward as far as repair goes. Just be glad it’s not a pressfit BB. 😁
