Are 1/4" bearings correct for the early 70s stronglight 49d crank bottom brackets? With 1/4", there is a gap but not enough for 1 more bearing. This seems to be causing the bb to be noisy. Is this the nature of these? Sorry, i don't work on much french. I checked archives and sheldon but didn't see anything.
