Do you ride with a press fit BB?

nope. all of my 5 bikes have threaded BB

I guess I do on my 2012 Scale 30, but never had to do any maintenance on those even though I ride through muddy german winters. Seems like the shop I bought it from did a nice job building the bike. But thanks for the video, in case they do wear out some day...

@antoinedoinell 6 лет назад

Press fit vs Threaded is a selling point for me. It's the first detail I look at when considering a bike. I will ALWAYS go for the threaded bb.

@gmbntech 6 лет назад

It's such a small factor (from the outside) and it seems such a dealbreaker for some. Super interesting!

@antoinedoinell 6 лет назад

Yes, very small but so important for me. I like doing my own maintenance, don't like creaking and don't want to buy more specialty tools. That tolerance will eventually fade and the bike will be worthless. It's what my brain thinks. I mean let's be real...is the slight bit of extra width that much better for the consumer? or is the majority of benefit going to production costs? just my 2 cents. (THANK YOU SANTA CRUZ!)

@boomerangfreak 6 лет назад

I see why people think that way really, maybe it's partly because people in general are reluctant to change? I mean how long has the BSA standard been around for now? If I can I'll go for a BSA BB myself but I won't let a good deal on a bike pass by just cause it has a PF BB. I got my scott genius for a few months now and haven't noticed any problems and in the shop I worked there most people never said anything bad about their PF BB we installed.

@tomas7403 5 лет назад

@@boomerangfreak in my case I have no problem to change to something better or just different, I had three bikes with press fit and all of them had creaking noises, I took them to big shops and they couldn't do anything to solve the problem, and in two of them the mechanic told me press fit is a problem. Since then I pay attention to my friends bikes and some of them creak and they just don't care, but they have the problem. Now, my current bikes have threaded bb and no one creaks.

Forgot to mention that you can also use a threaded rod, 2 compatible nuts for the thread on the rod, and a selection of washers of differing outer diameters but with inner diameters large enough to slide into the threaded rod. 2 spanner’s/ wretches for the nuts and boom, bodge complete This is essentially what the 50quid press is, for no more than a tenner.

@jonathanzappala 6 лет назад

The cups that thread together are great. Press one side wrench the other in.

@robertwilke1208 6 лет назад

When you took the cup out and noticed it was dry - That's why I do a fresh install when I get a new bike, bb, headset, even hub bearings. Sometimes they come improperly assembled - dry bearings, dry pressfits, no loctite, wrong torques. loctite 609 and 638 are good to have. Also, even thought the bearings feel good, might as well pop the seal, flush, replace the grease. Grease is a solvent and you don't know how "full" it is unless you look at it.

@TheSueRitchie 6 лет назад

My Liv pique has had a new press fit BB, Liv tech pages say use a thin film of normal grease before pressing new cups in. Worked fine, no threadlock nor primer needed. Carbon BB shell BTW, plastic cups. Doddy can.you please do a vid showing how to maintain various types of suspension pivots typically found on full sussers. I think I mean suspension linkage but not sure what they are called. It's the moving parts of the frame connected with bushings or bearings. Never understood if these needed maintenance or servicing.

@tristantopambudi3186 4 года назад

No grease on the axle before reassembly, I usually grease the axle and inside the seals? Also, what are your thoughts on praxis or wheels mfg threaded press fit bb’s? I’ve generally replaced with one of these after a bit (or first creak) and use grease instead of assembly compound. Just curious on what you think.

@johnnysaudade773 6 лет назад

Don't forget that all torque wrench accuracy is dependent on hand placement, you choked up on the wrench when you were tightening the chainring retention bolts.

Johnny Saudade the force at the fulcrum is not determined by hand position on the wrench and the force of the fulcrum is the only important number in the process.

@mainzman7239 6 лет назад

Thanks Doddy, another great video. You using a torque wrench reminded me of something I've been meaning to ask for a while though. I know it's recommended to always store a torque wrench with it at the lowest setting but does this also apply to a Park ATD? I assume it does and always set mine to 4Nm after use but I can't find anything to confirm it online. I could just ask Park of course but I figure you'll know this and the answer may help more than just myself.

I got a Di2 kit for my Cervelo P2 but unfortunately it comes with those Press Fit BBright brackets (and I just bought an Ultegra crank which is 24mm). I’m thinking about leaving the Cervélo brand just because of all the headache about loctite, special tools, adapters, and chances of damaging the frame. It seems that a threaded bottom bracket would be much cheaper to service and Shimano does the Ultegra/DuraAce threaded bottom brackets as well. Haven’t installed the Ultegra Di2 kit yet, and although I bought the bike at a bike shop, I want to do the upgrade myself (or go with a cheaper mechanic).

@christophewillems3992 2 года назад

What if with the specialist tool, there is no movement of the press fit?! The pressfit is mounted in an aluminium Cube Mtb frame. The crankset itself was already covered with a lot of "dirt" (rusty looking fat, earth...) The specialist tool slips from time to time when you are hammering to try to get the press fit bottom bracket out. No succes so far, I let it rest a night after spraying it with degreasing/cleaning product. I hope this will help. But some extra tips would be handy!

You're not greasing the axle of your cranks? I always grease my axles if only for a extra layer of water protection, is this good or not? Also question of the century, 1 cup at a time or both at once? When installing the cups for a new headset on my bike I did both at once but when I was working in a LBS they said 1 at a time is better as it makes sure the cups are straight to the frame.

Problems I see with press fit bearings in bb shell & integrated headsets is they eat away the frame. I think I sohudl go with Chris king pressfit headset & threaded BB. So far I got good experience with it, I usually notice wear of headset bearings after few months, or weeks with other bearings I tried. the worst experience ever was FSA bearings on my fuel ex, on one bike the top bearing was crushed after just few weeks, metal shavings every where. since then I swapped for enduro & cane Creek bearings. but one one bike it wore faster than the other, maybe the frame has something to do with it, it also got a inwards dent, although it did not have an impact. I will also stay away from carbon frames.

Hi, I just installed my pressfit BB86 with resing cups (Shimano BB-RS500) for the first time inside my bare carbon shell. Is it normal for the resing cups (or bare carbon) to snap/click loud like this when pressing in ? I was afraid I am damaging something ( I was using a home made press tool) but I ensured that the cups were prefitted parallel to the shell axis. I also lubricated both the cups and the shell with a little bit of waterproof grease. I think that even though the grease has been applied, the cups were sort of 'tension jumping' due to the friction with carbon but I want to make sure that this snapping noise is normal for bare carbon shells. can you advise ?

I have always found that press fit bottom brackets can be improved by the addition of a zip tie... threaded through the seperate bits to hold them together when you toss them in the bin. I have 2 frames which some idiot designed to take this abortion of a standard. The one on my 29er is sorted out by a Wheel Mfg screw together BB fitted with Enduro ceramic bearings - jolly nice and built like the proverbial. The one on my roadie is sorted by a similar thing from KCNC. It is my earnest wish that the idiots who come up with these ideas will be locked in a room with a loudspeaker playing non stop creaking noises at 150db morning noon and bloody night until they beg for forgiveness for being such insuferable tossers who thought they could improve something that didn't need improving.
