First video I've seen where the installer, is working from the side on which he's standing. Additionally straddling to the other side gets kudos.

[@gregtaylor6146]

Thank you for taking the time to post this, really helpful!! (Respect to you for also for your commitment to save animals.)

[@briank110]

Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you citizen!

[@andyk7716]

Adding grease to the spindle does not lubricate the bearings. At best it only eases reassembly.

[@SharpByCoop]

Thank you. Exactly what I needed before I made mistakes.

[@martintidbury2642]

Great, succinct video. Thanks for taking the time to share.

[@tcriley8197]

Nice video. Very easy to follow. Thanks

[@jeffbrunton3291]

Helpful thanks I would have thought it best to clean the bearings but I suppose if they are fine then OK

[@danzaokid]

The 2 BB sealed bearings (inside the bicycle frame) were not replaced, cleaned, nor re-lubed in this video. Those BB bearings will eventually wear out, make noises, and feel rough no matter how many times you re-lube just the spindle surfaces in this video.

[@scottheitmanmarinesurvey3557]

YEP AND WHY DID HE LUBE THE SPINDLE? I guess so it slides out easy when he replaces those bearings. That didnt make much sense. Couldnt hurt any thing though, just a waste of good grease.

[@danzaokid]

@@scottheitmanmarinesurvey3557 agreed.... This fella has no clue that he is lubing the wrong thing. It pains me to watch this video. The bearings are easier to just replace when worn. One would only lube BB's that have loose bearings or caged bearings.

[@winnguyen443]

Great video sir, but my retainer ring pops out before my crank releases. It takes a lot of pressure and my retainer ring can’t withstand it!

[@vj19xrk9]

great no nonsense vid. thanks!

[@AskUncleLuc]

Very helpful vid. Im in the process of building a Supersix Evo. The frame came with BB30 bearings and I purchase an FSA crankset (stamped BB30 on spindle). Neither came with the washers or spacers that you removed. Do you need them? There were other washer things on the drive side of the crank that you did not remove. What are they and will I need them on my build?

[@kirkrobertson2099]

Nice. On the very last bit you actually loosened the crank while saying to tighten it.

[@leftymadrid]

Heck, I would say that was very helpful for sure!!! Thanks!! Safe riding to you :-) :-) :-)

[@petertang7299]

Thanks for the video bud! Cheers.

[@wingandaprayer72]

Good video for removal, but he did not clean and lube the bearings. Why are you lubing the spindle like that?

[@Silidons91]

Mine was an ABSOLUTE BEAR to get off. I'm a pretty strong dude (5'11'', 200lbs, used to bench 365) and it took ALL MY STRENGTH to get the left side crank off. I think they WAYYYY over torqued mine at the bike shop. I had to actually continually jump on my 8mm wrench to get it to move until I could do it by hand. It literally took about 15 minutes just to unscrew it.

[@mikedavis8511]

Great vid! What kind of lubricant is used? Thank you!

[@batbawls]

Just use waterproof/marine grease. Any will work.

[@whichdoctor4858]

Thanks!

[@kx4sam]

Awesome, just like my bike, mine is apart now.

[@jurestiplosek3018]

What about bearings replacement, cleaning pf30... Spacer cleaning, grease... On spacers...

[@pakoyteardrop]

Can you please tell me what's the bb shell length of your cannondale frame? I badly need it. Thanks

[@lanceblack888]

Is any of the non-drive side spindle exposed after you secured it back in place? I can’t tell because you didn’t film from above, so I can’t see how close the crank is to the BB. Thanks, L

[@arachnohack9050]

So how do you remove the bottom bracket? Thanks for thus vid

[@kmst1962]

THANKS

[@leftyseel8658]

What size is that hex wrench? What about the bb, how do tou service the bb? I got a Caad8 with FSA Omega crankset and BB30 bottom bracket.

[@Dmitryzakharov]

Why so much grease from the inside? Just waste.

[@chaimanjamesjabagat8290]

What kind of bb should I use my fsa gossamer spindle is too short

[@chaimanjamesjabagat8290]

I think it's 24mm it can't fit on my bb shell

[@michaeltatham7987]

No torque wrench?

[@EnriqueHernandez-sr3yi]

what kind of botton bracket I have to used for that crank?

[@JeanFrancoisDesrosiers]

BB30... 30mm spindle diam.

[@mrfailure93]

Thanks for the video Why on earth would you use a screwdriver instead of your finger to spread grease???

[@bikesandmangoes352]

Because I can't reach the lube that is in the tube ;)

[@mrfailure93]

Just be careful not to scratch it

[@bikesandmangoes352]

Yes!

[@ximotur]

To lubrificate with some lubrificant parts that need to be lubrificated :D Some say a screwdriver is a good way to *lubricate* the cranks, although I use the finger too ;)

[@thalo52]

The word for "to lubricate" in Portuguese is lubrificar. You can see how he anglicized the Portuguese word.

[@secretagent86]

aren't bearings used???? how odd

[@simo24v]

How much weigh the cranckset fsa?

[@ivanboesky1520]

a lot :-)

[@giusseppeprtronis1852]

Mine is stuck. I cannot unscrew It despite using my feet to turn Allen screw counter-clockwise. Weird! Outer one is coming out probably cranck Rod thread is being damaged

[@TheValman123]

Did you ever remove it? I was having the same issue. I managed to sort it out by removing the locking nut and spraying with lots of WD-40, then leaving it overnight to soak in. Came back to it in the morning and could turn it with ease

[@giusseppeprtronis1852]

@@TheValman123 i never remove It in 10 years. That was my fault. I Will remove lock nut and try to do what you tell me. Many thanks.

[@Remmie1977]

you'd better put a little loctite on it.
