Hi As the title implies, is a socket type tool better for bottom brackets that have been tightened with probably no grease and with a 15ft long breaker bar and Its been in the rain for a few years and rusty. I'm debating between a one and a socket one, pictures attached. Any help regarding...

While getting to my absolutely destroyed BB bearings, I have taken the crankset off (obviously). Weeks later, I noticed a ring on the floor that looks like this: (around the 7 minute mark) I assumed it was nothing to do with my bike, and as such don't have it anymore. Was it necessary at...

I learned about press fit vs threaded bottom brackets after I ordered my bike, but before delivery 6 months later. That gave me plenty of time to freak myself out and question my decision, since mine came with a press fit. The fact that I didn't see any Pivot owners complaining, and learning...

I often prefer to buy a quality product like Chris King that you buy for the life of the bike, and save money and hassle. I hear Cane Creek 110 headset is good. What say you? Same question for suspension bearings. I do not use a pressure washer on my bike. Thank you.

Hi all. I have a Cube Stereo 140 2018 (non standard parts) with a 92mm BB shell width (kinda wide for the type of bike). The left crank arm fell off, and it looked like there's not enough crank spindle sticking out for it to grip, my local bike shop agreed and suggested an 83mm compatible...

I have a 2017 Specialized demo 8, full suspension downhill. Recently within the past week I have had a noisy bottom end (bottom bracket from what it sounded like). Every occasional pedal stroke it would crack, crack, crackidy crack. No hinder in performance. I recently bought a SRAMX01 crank, so...

So, with most of the bike upgraded to how I'd like, I am now turning my eye to the cranks... just a bit of window shopping for now, but a future upgrade in the pipeline perhaps. The bike came originally with a Race Face Aeffect 175mm crankset with a 24mm steel spindle. A bit of searching seems...

Hi all. I bought a second-hand demo with some issues. Noticed some play around the main linkage by the bb. Took it to a Spez store and they confirmed my fears that the BB was never serviced and it was basically stuck and they could not remove it. moving the frame around you can hear ball...

Hello, My 3 week-old Canyon Exceed mountain bike started to make creaking noises. After some investigation, I've pretty much narrowed it down to the area around the bottom bracket. It does not seem to me that the pedals are responsible, so I figured I would just remove the cranks and try to...

I need a replacement spindle for my BB. Mongoose says the part is on back order and won't arrive till late March.(I was surprised to learn the new part was under $6.00) Looking for a good source to purchase one in stock.
