Why Bike Mechanics LOVE Threaded Bottom Brackets | Inside TPC | TPC

How do we handle bikes with recalled parts? This Specialized Tarmac SL7 had a recalled steerer and our expert team of mechanics ensured the recalled service had been performed. Also in this episode, Carl replaces a gritty bottom bracket and explains why threaded bottom brackets are the easiest to work on. He shows you how to replace a standard BSA / English threaded DUB bottom bracket, so you can try it at home.

I believe you shoudn't just check if new expander was installed. You should also inspect steering tube. New parts might be installed but steering tube might already be damaged.

[@theproscloset]

Don't worry, we still do the complete 141-point inspection on every bike!

[@MarioXcore1]

Nice!

2:00 what about the rust around top headset bearing? Is that good to go???

[@bernardo9202]

I have a shimano claris grupo, on a giant contend 3 bike, The FD is the most annoying shit ever, i would for sure use a 1x setup, i'm looking foward to to it, just saving up the money to be able to aply that solution

[@theproscloset]

Can't argue with that, it's much simpler to maintain and build.

[@TabboFamily7860]

I love cycles work but i don't have the tools

[@theproscloset]

There's a ton of work you can do on your bike with very basic tools! A few hex wrenches and screwdrivers will handle most of your regular maintenance.

[@energylab6277]

Why wouldn't you take the opportunity to clean the area perfectly. And that bb is installed wwaaaayyyyyy too tight

[@hirf1980]

😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@aLoyalGoose7]

lol the "BB" is installed fine, you are probably complaining about the crank preload but since you didnt say it correctly you dont know what you are talking about, a properly preloaded crank doesnt just spin freely forever, look at shimano

[@pabloab-r]

The BB spin was awful 😂

[@oscardot]

That BB spin😂. SRAM is trash.

[@aaronjacobtrent]

I guess there’s no real choice in the US since Shimano stuff breaks and Campy isn’t a viable option. You’ve convinced me to quit bikes lol.

[@theproscloset]

Single speed belt drive is the obvious choice.

[@aaronjacobtrent]

Haha, the true mullet setup is belt drive + powermeter pedals
