FAQs

What tools are required for installation?

You will need an M30 BB tool (sold separately).

Can I use this bottom bracket on a press-fit frame?

No, this bottom bracket is designed for BSA/English threaded frames only.

What type of bearings are used?

Steel cartridge bearings.

How do I determine if I need the 68mm or 73mm version?

Measure the width of your frame's bottom bracket shell. The 68mm version is for road frames and the 73mm version with spacers is for MTB frames.

How often should I replace the bottom bracket?

The lifespan depends on usage and conditions, but regular inspection and maintenance can extend the life of your bottom bracket. Replace when you feel excessive friction or hear noises.

Can I use different cranksets with this bottom bracket?

Yes, as long as the crankset has an M30 spindle.

How do I clean the bottom bracket?

Wipe the external parts with a damp cloth. Avoid using high-pressure water or solvents.

Troubleshooting

Creaking noise from the bottom bracket.

Check the tightness of the bottom bracket cups. If the cups are properly tightened, remove and re-grease the threads and contact points. If the noise persists, bearings may need to be replaced.

Bottom bracket feels rough or has excessive resistance.

Inspect the bottom bracket for contamination. Clean and re-grease if necessary. If the problem persists, the bearings may be worn and require replacement.

Difficulty installing the bottom bracket.

Ensure you are using the correct M30 BB tool. Make sure the frame's bottom bracket shell is clean and threads are in good condition. Consider using a thread-chasing tool if necessary.
