I was pretty sure it was the original derailleur. It looks like the Criterium but says Prestige on the back. The problem I am having is it no longer seems to keep the proper tension in the chain. |

I am not sure why it keeps coming loose since it seems the only unscrewing force is the friction in the ball bearings. I cleaned all the grease out with mineral spirits so hopefully the Loctite will h ... |

Thanks for all the help and advice! I ordered the crank puller on ebay and ordered the pin spanner and bottom bracket wrench from Park as suggested by verktyg.
When I pulled the cranks off it took ... |

Thanks for all the help! I don't really have much in the way of tools here with me at college and without the bike to get around I guess I will just order what I need online.
Sounds like what I am ... |

So I can just keep tightening the fixed cup with a crescent wrench when it becomes loose and keep on riding it?
I don't think I really have the tools to take apart the bottom bracket in order to c ... |

Its a NOS 5 speed Suntour freewheel with a campy hub. I had thought of the washer idea and that might be the simplest route to take since it would only need a little more clearance to work fine. |

Took a while to come back and update this but I finally got my wheels built. The only problem is the chain hits the frame when in the last gear in the rear. Doesn't bother me too much but if anybody h ... |

So about the only thing I know about the bottom bracket is that my bike has one and it won't stay tightened. Mine seems to be loose on the side with the gear on it (adjustable cup?). I can see about 2 ... |

I tried getting it tightened and I tried getting it tightened again with Loctite. After only a couple weeks of short commuting though the bottom bracket is already quite loose.
I took the bike to a ... |

Does anybody know the dimensions for the bottom brackets on the old Tour de France bikes from about 1973 or 74'? Is locktight usually needed to keep the bottom bracket from becoming loose? Are the dim ... |
