Not to worry, I have a replacement solution that you can do for under $70. You will need to replace both the bottom bracket and the crankset. I suggest getting a Shimano UN55 sealed cartridge bottom bracket and a Shimano Acera 8 speed triple crankset, square tapered. The spindle length you will need to order the bottom bracket will be 123mm or the next size up or down. Crankset + bottom bracket should cost right under $50 to replace. I order a lot of parts from Amazon, which you can click the link at the bottom of my blog to get to and "tip" me for my advice (I get paid for ad clicks). You will also need a bottom bracket cup for tightening the new bottom bracket and a screw driver and hammer for removing the old one. Remember one side will be reverse threaded. This is usually the drive side. Also, the drive side of the bottom bracket goes in first, as tight as possible. You may have to adjust your front derailleur to shift into the new crankset after you are done with the installation. Let me know if you have any further questions!<br /><br />-JohnnyJohnnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07799461560427184888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1676384460764494844.post-87009107371506951512012-12-19T15:51:01.552-08:002012-12-19T15:51:01.552-08:00I'm trying to upgrade my sinister 6.2.
