I've got a 2016 Felt IA14 which is in need of a little maintenance and tweaking.
There's grinding and knocking which I think is coming from the BB so I reckon the bearings may be damaged. I haven't disassembled anything yet to investigate. I've been riding it quite a bit for 2 years now, mostly on the trainer.
I'd also like to try shorter cranks to see if it helps with some knee pain I've been having, and because I think I might prefer slightly shorter cranks anyway. Finally, I think perhaps it's time I got a power meter.
So I was thinking of going with a Power2Max NG or NGeco and perhaps Rotor 3D+ with 165mm cranks and 52/36 Praxis or Rotor chainrings (I'm currently using the stock FSA Trimax Pro cranks/chainset with 172.5mm cranks and 52/38 chainrings).
I'd prefer pedal based PM so I could move it between my road and tri bikes depending on my focus at any given time but I use Speedplays and don't want to change. I also don't think I want a wheel based PM.
What do you all reckon. Sensible selection or is there a better option I'm overlooking?
Edit: Oh yeah, on the BB replacement. Would you just go with a basic BB or is anything else worthwhile, and why?
