Mr. Oldpotatoe, another question on Record cups??

[DRZRM]

So if as you have said, the Record 11 cups are flawed due to their lack of a seal on the bearings (is that what that white thing is called?) can I install Record 11 cranks with an older Record 10 cup with the seal? Will it fit? Will it benefit at all? Or can you add the seals from a 10 speed cup to an 11 speed cup? Is there any other way to protect crank bearings? Especially if it is a CX bike that may see mud?

Thanks

I know Peter recommends using lots of grease, but I don't know which cups he likes for 11 speed.

but i thought it was the SR cups that had no seals,and the record cups do have seals? I use record cups with my 10s UT cranks without issue and they have seals (the green colored cups).

I think the 11s record cranks are fine with the record cups which are sealed. He does say lots and lots of grease in there...

I dont belive there is a difference between 10s and 11s when it comes to the UT cranks

record cups do have the seals, its the super record cups that dont.

Cool. thanks all, Record 11 cranks installed on my IF Planet X with Record 10 cups with seals. Grease used as recommended. All seems to be spinning smoothly.
