OK... I know the CSI's bottom bracket is cooked. How? The shrieking it made for the last 20 miles and the grind you can feel when you spin the pedals without the chain on the rings and how you can wobble the pedals all over the place side to side. That one has maybe 11,000 miles on it so it went quick but within tolerances, I guess.

The Legend, on the other hand... there's play in these pedals and the thing was replaced only about 6,000 miles ago. Not a lot of play, but some. I thought bottom brackets weren't supposed to have any play in the spindle. Correct?
