Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of this bottom bracket requires a specialized press-fit tool designed for 46mm cup diameters. Before installing, ensure the frame's bottom bracket shell is clean and free of debris. Apply a thin layer of high-quality bike grease to the shell interface to prevent creaking and future seizing.
Compatibility Note: This model is designed for 86.5mm shell widths. Attempting to install this on a shell with different dimensions will result in improper bearing preload and potential damage to your crankset.
Care: To extend the life of your bearings, avoid using high-pressure water spray directly at the bottom bracket seals during bike washes, as this can force moisture past the rubber seals.
