Question
I am trying to replace the bearings from the bottom bracket of my Jump Bike, i have been able to remove the 2-piece cranks however  through the "hole" through wich your normal bb would go there is a "bb converter" (as read off the offending item), I am unable to remove this "bb converter" which is proventing me removing the bearings, can you help at all. Thanks Alex

Answer
Hello Alex. I can't help you out with this information. There are several types of bottom brackets and several converters for each. If you could possibly find out what type of bottom bracket and converter you have, then I can help you out.

I'm sorry about the inconvenience. I hope we can get this figured out for you.

I can answer questions on all issues you may have encountered with your bicycle. Some things are hard to explain without visually seeing or riding the bicycle such as vague 'clanking' noises.

Experience

I was my neighborhood mechanic as an early teenager. I have also worked in a bicycle repair shop for about a year and a half.
