Just swapped my 1.gen Ultra Torque Chorus 2007 with a new 2015 Revolution - I have done +63000km with no maintenance whats so ever, but this spring i noticed that my chainrings started to felx a quite a bit and when i dismatled the bike i noticed that the bearring non driveside was wasted and proberbly have been so since km 59000. Drive side bearing is fine thorugh but could benefit from a geasegun shot.

Insted of purchasing new bearrings and a the parktool UT bearing pull/press kit + new chainrings i opted for a new Chainset (+ 11-speed Revolution front/rear-shifters, chain, 11-29 casette and shifters to replace the ageing 10 speed shifters)

BB is a std BSA in a Merlin 2006 CR frame.

I actually re-used the cups... they are just fine (and the silver 1.gen skeleton brakes with bearings)
