Just a thought, wouldn't it be worth sell the BB with a tapered locator to avoid this?

Hi there, have a question. I have a supercaliber gen 1 with a 92mm press fit bottom bracket with a chainline of 52. I just currently installed a m8100 xt cranks on it as its a 52mm chainline. I dont have any spacers on either side of the crank spindle. When i put the cranks on that little plastic peice just about goes in pretty much at the outer limit of the hole on the spindle. Should i have gone with the m8120 with the 55mm chainline for the extra bit of spindle?

There will also be air in the master cylinder (shifter body). Loosen the handlebar and rotate the bar up and down while pumping the lever to get more air out. Same concept as you demonstrated in the beginning.

can i use a new bb with longer spindle than my old bb? does it fit for any length?

hopefully we not cracking these

NERD ALERT. Even a good bearing will create vibrations when rotated. If it rotates, it vibrates. It is all relative so "how much does it vibrate" is a good question. Perhaps just refrain from using absolute terms like "No vibrations are coming through the frame what so ever - trust me they would if they could." There are absolutely vibrations traveling through the frame when the crank is spinning. Maybe say something like "I do not feel any vibrations with my hand that are indicative of a bad bearing."

I’m finally doing it!! Finally installing this baby on my niner! P.s. thanks for making the tool kit so easy! It’s was super easy to convince my local shop that this baby is the beesknees! Also I’m excited todo testing to see how she does around 20° and in the snow! (I’m confident in your work!) Xoxo Garry and Wess!

If it's excellent sistem than why iam here, how you think?

Or squeeze the front brake and push the bike forward, you will feel it.

Great video - may I suggest a direct link to the product on the description? Thanks!

Thankyou . Problem solved . Great video 👍

Just remember "back off" and that's for loosening the pedal off

Thanks for this - just fixed my creaking SRAM Eagle NX cranks - I used Loctite 638

So theres obviously no grease in the bearing, and thats why it free spins, no sure why people are so obsessed with that but how often are you going to have to oil that bearing

SHELL SPACING. When he talks about that he means "the Frame width (without the bottom bracket BB in it) just bare metal is 73mm typically, some 68mm some other. Its called "SHELL WIDTH" he says shell spacing and creates confusion.

Amazing! Finally I know what is it for! Thanks man

Something a SS never worries about 😎

completely useless

DAM IT!!!! He’s telling the truth!!!

I just replace them now. I don't bother with the DAG.

is it still safe to use a creaking wheel??

I lost the plastic peice, seems my pedal left slips and doesnt grip bracket.. how to resolve

Thanks

I have Bianchi xr3 Carbon , I am 65 , it's my knees that creek ! lol

Well said 😊

Gracias!

Daym this is good advice

Torque wrenches... Locktite... Crap engineering.

My local bike shop told me that once you pop those off you have to get new ones. If you have a 12-speed. What's your thoughts on that? In other words you can't reuse them.

To extract a bearing attached with Loctite? It is very hard and does not come out. Heat? Cold? .. Should I pull harder with an extractor?

Okay I'm excited. Do you recommend this bottom bracket for a carbon mountain bike as well?

Thank you . Thank you.

Love that whisper smoothness! I have a 2022 giant Advanced 1 29er and if you have a moment I'd love your input as to a bottom bracket I could put in to make it as buttery smooth as that Cervelo! Do you recommend the T47 for a carbon mountain bike as well?

OR........as its Sram AXS use the micro adjust in the app....

These bike fixing video should be titled how to cure depressed

You on here doing God's work brother 😂

😊👍🚴🚴🚴🚴👍💯

killed one of my punches but saved a customer's frame today. thank you!

Right on, man, x2! Thank you!

He just roasted every hater in the comments…😂 I’m going to buy this and a BB from them for my Soloist just from this video making me laugh..😆

I have same issue now, so, change the bb? And thanks alot for this informative video❤

Have you done any test between the two determining any significant wattage gains? Cause I’ve used a lot of different steel and ceramic bb and the only difference I can anecdotally feel is when the ceramic one gives out after 3 months.

Were shimano cranks designed by the Getmans? Talk about being overly complicated.

The ones that are so loose that making sound or tight ones?

Amen

No, you need a Rohloff. That's the principal.

Thanks! The video was extremely helpful, I didn't even know that type of Loctite existed. Quick question: do you need to add Retaining Compound for Shimano Hollowtech II with direct mount?? Thanks again.

I am runing a 1 by 11 setup and do not use ANY preloading on my BB, but leave about 1/2 mm horizontal play. On a "1 by " setup, this horizontal play has no effect on the shifting and the BB bearings last for "ever".

Shouldnt you be adding resistance and weight to gain muscle instead of making it easier and losing muscle and slowly becoming weaker with every upgrade?

Or just hold the front brake and rock the bike gently back and forth with your finger on the crown.
