Great watch. I also have a trek roscoe 8; I had a truative spline BB, which I went through 3 of them in 2 years! I've now a press fit, but I will use your method of changing the bearings. You made it look so easy. Thank you. It will save me money as I've been paying a mechanic.

I have a single speed bike, that has started to clunk something awful when I pedal. I can feel it in my feet, so I think the problem could be the bottom bracket. Unfortunately I live in a small town in Thailand, and no one here seems to know much about fixing bikes for some reason. I took it to a scooter repair shop, but all they did was grease the chain, which I had done before going there. I hope I'm able to fix whatever this is, but every time I go out to attempt to try and take it apart, I get scared I will mess something up. It's my only form of transportation, so I'm scared to risk it. But if I get the courage, I'll refer back to this video. Thank you for making it!

Hey man, I understand the worry, I really do. My bike is my only form transportation as well since I lost my car. But honestly I have the exact same issues you do when pedaling so yes I do agree it's the bottom bracket. Especially for me since it's been at least 3 years since I even took out the bottom bracket. You can do this repair man, I believe in you!!!

@@thedudeisgreat thanks! I did have the bottom bracket replaced several times since my comment. It shouldn't have needed to be replaced that many times, but they never fix things to last there. I just left Thailand and now back in the states.

I am coming up on two years of riding my same bottom bracket and it's still running fine, but then I don't ride in rainy and muddy conditions very often. Regardless, this is a reminder that I should go ahead and replace mine this year (I typically get two to three years out of a bb) I just had my frame replaced last month due to a crack in the seat stay/seat tube weld and the local bike shop mechanic was very meticulous about building up the bike under warranty and didn't think there was a need for replacement at the time. I am calling my "new" bike a Roscoe X, it's all Roscoe parts, plus my upgraded RS Revelation fork, Race Face bar, stem, and grips, new saddle, and Trek sent me a 2021 X Caliber 8 frame with no model name (mat black w/ white and silver decals vs. my original Marigold Fade of the 2020).

Thanks for the positive video. I just got a new bike (used) and decided to check the bottom bracket. No play but when I removed it there were a few little stones/grit mixed with grease! Definitely a good thing to take it out and clean every now and again. I wondered where the muck came from. I think it must have gotten through the holes in the frame for the dropper post. I will see if I can make some plugs for the holes to ensure no grit gets there! Thanks!

That’s the one thing trek really needed to spec better on the bike is the bottom bracket. Everyone i know has had theirs fail

After watching this, that BB was actually pretty clean compared to some that are far more abused. Yours likely just needed to adjust the pre-load to remove the play.
