SM BB 5700BC 37x24 Service
So getting my old Ribble ready for winter, hasn't been used for over a year. When rotating the cranks the BB felt a bit rough. Is it done, can it dry out with lack of use? If needs replacing what do you recommend?

Except for the 12th and 13th pictures, which are not only of the rear dropout but also include the "raw" 3D printed version as well.

1. Make sure it is the BB by spinning cranks without the chain on the chainring
2. Assuming it's still rough, you could pick the bearing seals out, and flush out any rusty gunge. Then pack with new grease. Push the seals back in.
