-Something to note I left out when recording... I had lightly greased the bottom bracket threads on the frame before installing the new BB. You don't need much, just enough to prevent the threads from seizing later.
Square taper is perfectly fine for lots of riding situations in my opinion. Lighter riding types (cruising, gravel, road, etc) or just simply lighter riders can make good use of them. I'm going to put a square taper BB with some nice older Shimano XT cranks on a bike for my wife.
