Swapping the tyres on my
#pashley roadster
#bike for cream ones was straightforward. However, replacing the (practical but very bulky) fully enclosed chain case for a more stylish alternative required me to remove the bottom bracket. But the bracket was made out of plastic and installed so tightly that it rounded off the cups so I can't reuse it.
Still, it was seemingly the cheapest possible sealed bottom bracket available, so spending a bit on a nicer replacement isn't the end of the world.
The rebuild of the bike will have to wait until later in the week when the new bracket arrives.
