I agree with Pete. Just add sand, water and gravel to old one and you will be fine.

haha i had to replace the one from the MN gravel adventure, but it was still under warranty so no worries. sorta long story but this one would make the SegSlayer a true PF30 and drop a few ounces in the process.

how about i just disassemble the bike and bring it to T-Rolls in pieces, maybe you guys can help me put it back together.

I would not recommend that with my mechanical skills. AR is a killer on BB's. I have started using Chris King BB and have had a lot better luck, but still lucky if it makes a season.

I repack my BB's after every season. I am rolling ceramic BB30 now. butter. I do think there are places where you need to spend money. Hubs, BB, and anodized shit that does nothing but make your bike sparkle. When I did my builds last year, I used a Cane Creek 110 headset. I have had a lot of issues with headsets coming loose, rattling, grinding, etc. This one is bullet proof. I have not touched it since it was installed.
