In this video we cover how to remove, re-grease, maintain / service and re-install / replace your mountain bike's BB (bottom bracket). First, we will be performing the BB (bottom bracket) service on Jeff's UNNO Dash which uses a threaded English (BSA / Threadfit BB) bottom bracket. Then we will take apart his gravel bike which uses a pressfit (PF92 BB) bottom bracket. In this video, Liam covers every detail imaginable when it comes to removing, greasing, and replacing your bike's bottom bracket all while walking you step by step through the entire process. Home mechanics, this one's for you. Enjoy!

What other tech tutorials do you want to see? Let us know down below!
removing creaks from the kassette, drivetrain, rear hub? 😁
All of them!
How about just more epic bike builds :P
Pedal overhaul & bearing replacement
How about wheel/hub servicing and new fork upgrade
track stand with the tito’s cocktail at the end was nothing but BOSS shit 😂👍
I'm just gonna watch you do it for no reason. Lol. I'm sure the knowledge will come in handy someday.
I like that this video wasn’t clipped apart or sped up too much, POV is cool too because is sets a reasonable expectation for how long it will take. I was billed $60 to replace a BB and crankset by a shop once because it would take an hour, did it myself in 15-20 minutes for the first time doing it.
The prices bike shops quotes are ridiculous 🤣
Who does your editing? Some fricken library of clips in that dudes head👍
I will probably never do this myself, but I looked every minute. Why? .... :) Very entertaining, thanks for all the videos you guys make!
Friday therapy, cheers and thanks from Sweden!
It's always 5 o'clock when you are doing bike maintenance
Huge thanks for this video! I knew I’d need it eventually so I saved it to watch again later. This was a huge help. I tried the Teflon tape hack so hopefully that helps extend the life of my BB. You guys rock!
Watching this while my buddy installs his new bottom bracket on my ex bike with my toolz 🤙
thx guyz, very entertaining and informative 👊
Thanks for the video, now I will add Teflon tape on my BB maintenance
I can't wait to get my order from you guys! Thanks for being an awesome company
"this is something you guys should do every few months"
Oof. Had my bike for 2 years now, and it sounds like its going to fall apart anytime I put more force on the cranks. Time to take it apart, thanks for the vid
Nice tips. Love the teflon and grease tips. I will be working on mine soon! Looks like a creak ending method for sure!
Just got my Rockshox seals from you guys delivered to me out here in the UK! Great service, now I’m going to get out there and shred after a few weeks off the bike... ☀️😎🤘
Love your instructional stuff!
Great video. I will reference it many times as I attempt it myself. Thank you.
Man you made that look easy. I’m gonna try it myself. 👍
Great tutorial Liam, definitely helped me out
Thank you so much! Nice video, love that you did pressfit too, cause I found a lot about threaded bb online but very less about pf.
luv your workshop setup
Jeff's new bike is so sick!
100% going to follow this to get rid of my BB creak. Thanks 👍👍
You have got to be the most chill bike mechanic ever, kudos man and ty for walking through that! Don't feel so bad torqueing to my oogha doogha spec... ;-)
Excellent video. Lots of great info here :)
I use the Teflon tape too! Super!
I suggest watching some of Hambini's videos and understand WHY creaking happens.
Tight-tight-tight. Yeah!
Sweet job 👍
fantastic use of that Barry insert at 37:50
Thanks!! You've erased my irrational fear of bottom bracket maintenance. 👍
What a beautiful bike!
really enjoyed this video, very laid back and informative. would LOVE to see a video on a complete rebuild of the damper side on a pike fork (charger 1 or 2). I'v done mine a few times but always feel like i'm missing something and have never come across a detailed video of that type. thanks
Very good channel, glad I subscribed.
Tighten up towards the rear wheel, loosen up towards the front wheel.
That's 100000000000x easier than trying to guess which is the cross threaded side.
FYI, in case you do not know or maybe someone else doesn't know. "cross threaded" means to screw something in incorrectly over the original threading, rendering the threads damaged. You meant "reverse threaded" which means backwards threaded. Normal threading is lefty loosey righty tighty, but reverse threading is lefty tighty righty loosey. It is common to use reverse threading when a part is in a normal spinning orientation that would cause it to loosen during use.
all fun and games until you are installing pedals and get things mixed
Great video
I am trying to watch this precious video but can't take my eyes off the tattoos. Brilliant artwork 🤘
Dude thank you thank you thank you thank you 🙏 keep doing this
Every time you said the word “this guy,” I took a sip of my Moscow mule. I ran out of ginger beer....straight vodka and lime toward the end of the video was really getting awkward. Lolol! Kudos for the video! Keep em coming! 👍🏽
Excellent. Thank you.
More content like this 👍👍👍
Thank you for the inspiration! I just made myself a Moscow Mule! It's 5 o'clock somewhere.
p⁰]]
Very Nice
f ing Zach that was so good. I was cracking up in a good way . entertainment. cheers
That's funny. I enhance my maintenance experiences similarly.
Wonderful video. Wish you guys would crank out more podcasts 😭 I have an hour long commute... I didnt realize my bb needed to be that tight. Probably why it's creaking haha
Is it weird that I actually watch you do this for no reason? The shop is like a candy store.
Would like to see how to true a wonky wheel and how much tension each spoke should have.
Love the movie references 😂 lol
Is that poop on his tire? The answer is yes. How do I know? I am the one that put it there.
I have used the Yellow (Gas) Teflon before and found that it holds shape a bit better when screwed in. Doesn't mean its any better, just holds together a little more.
Great video. I was getting worried you forgot about a key ingredient, your drink. Mine is coming out tonight. I expect you will see an order for a new BB too.
I’m watching it because I’m upgrading my bb and crankset
It would be great to include some pointers on removing other brands of crank, e. g. Raceface! (The ones that can be impossible to remove. Friend of mine completely destroyed his crankset - it still didn't come off)
35:55 If you put A LOT of grease to the edge of the bearing that's against the missing dust cover, it would make it harder for dust and water to creep into the bearing surfaces. It will add some friction, though.
Installing a dropper post. Would be a good topic
I got kind of a cracking noise in the front and I think it can't be the headset bearings because the bike is 8 months old but I have this knock block system from trek. Could it be the knock Block thing or any ideas??
Jeff is a wreck! LOL
Great tutorial. The music on the other hand......
Pro tip: If you add 0:00 to the timestamp list in the description it will enable chapter markers for desktop users.
Also, butts. 🍑
Another great how-to vid, nice job Liam! What is that storage bag Jeff has on his Salsa?
It's a small pack made by Salsa. I put my Stans Dart tool, spare tube, CO2 and multi-tool in there 💩
Worldwide Cyclery that’s super cute. Do you guys carry that? I’ve been looking for a small pack like that to take on shorter rides when i don’t bring my camelback.
I need that park tool kit! Do you sell that kit or is that a custom pieced together?
I understand the use of allllll the grease and the reason you loaded up because it becomes a block to keep dust from getting deeper into the BB and bearings, etc... but doesnt it also become a magnet for the dust? So with all the dust flying around and sticking to the grease there where the crank arms are moving, wouldnt that create a grinding feel?
Im about to take my crank arms off and bottom bracket etc to clean everything because mine feel/sound like there is dirt around the moving parts. Thinking it would be good to get the grease in the deeper components but less as you get closer to the surface/exterior parts? what are your thoughts on that reasoning?
On the press fit, can you slice the plastic sleeve to get it in the bb? Better than no sleeve?
Just a question, what part of the bottom bracket or crank that causes creaks? is it the bearings of the bracket? the threads of the shell? or the spindle of the crank?
I’m building a new hard tail and I have a RR BSA threaded BB and a Race Face Next SL crank. When I insert the crank spindle through the BB, even before I install the drive side, the crank seems too tight and does not spin freely as it should. After it’s fully installed, but before I set and tighten the preload washer, it is so tight that it will not even spin a full rotation by giving it a spin by hand. Is the Race Face BB just a piece of junk? Should I replace it with a Sram DUB BB, or anything but a Race Face?
Can i add a drop or two drops of dry chain lubr inside my hollowtech sealed bottom bracket ball bearings to make them roll a little smoother? Is this good or harmful to the ball bearings?
First time I’ve used someone used Ptfe tape or plumbers tape as it’s called in the uk. However I suppose it does make sense!
Also it is important to note that anywhere that has grease won’t rust. The spindle of cranks are aluminum, but bearings are steel and need grease to prevent them from corrosion.
How do i check if the carbon area of the BB is oval or not? i get a bad creek when at the bottom of the left rotation.
Great video. Isn't that an UNNO Aora?
Unno Dash :) They made a video on the build here - ua-cam.com/video/JLy08bEallA/v-deo.html
Other videos say don't put grease on the bottom bracket if you have a carbon frame as it reacts with the carbon. Is this true or false ?
How about a video on hydraulic brake bleed?
Can somebody explain why left-hand threads are used for bottom bracket when the threads are in orientation where threads open to the direction of the pedaling? I would understand if one side would be left-hand threaded if the threads would be pushed tighther with the pedaling if the thread moves even a bit.
What about popping the dust seals on the cups and adding a bit of grease I’ve been hearing there is almost nothing in the damn things??
I have a pair of sram cranks with two bolts on the outside of the cranks but when i remove the bolts the crank doesn't come off
What do i do?!
(It's one of the ones without a preload collar)
But my bike is new, only a few rides in and already squeaking. Is this normal?
I just tighten the crank a bit and it stops, but then after a weeks or riding, it comes back
Question: the threaded part that you backed off at 27:49, what is that for? Did you re-tighten after you put it all back together? I did not see that.
The threaded collar that he backed off was the bearing preloader. Yea, he probably should have adjusted it at the very end. It is used to remove any side-play of the cranks and to put a slight side-load on the bearings. Helps them last longer.
@@joppek77 thanks. Much appreciated.
Apply retaining compound at the Pressfit BB shell before inserting it in, lubricants or grease I do not recommend.
I am sorry for the stupid and not needed comment, but is teflon tape mandatory? (threaded shimano bb)
I also would like to see drunk bike mechcanic. Take str8 up shots and do fixin on them bikes!! That would be fun.
cheers to oval chainrings!
So i noticed that he didn't regrease his bearings?
HOT TO SERVICE A BB MT800 BOTTOM BRACKET PLS?
How about the bearings ? Don't you need to clean and grease them too ?
Very good info. Thanks, I'll need it some day. BTW, your camera man's skill needs improvement. :-D
What bike is that
What kind of grease is that?
As many tech stuff as possible. I'll just watch for good reasons 😛🤐
Its 5o'clock somewhere
where are the bearings you refer to ?
My sram crank requires 54Nm, no way that dinky little wrench got you there. I used my auto torque wrench.
Thanks for the Teflon tape tip.
I have a press for BB on my jeffsy. I removed the 10mm and 8mm but my crankset didn’t come off as easily as yours did. Any tips?
Oh, you shouldn't remove 10 mm, that's the self extraction bolt. Screw both in again, so that the 10 mm bolt is tight again. Than start to loosening up the 8 mm, it will get lose and tight again. Go on until the crank comes off.
michi ulrich thanks man! What’s the self extraction bolt for?
What is the weight capacity?
lol titos in the office?
It's 5 o'clock someplace.
My square taper bb is starting to do weird stuff... When I take the bike after a day of not using it, the crankset is completely seized and won't spin. After applying tons of force, it start to spin again and after 30/40 revolutions it spins smoothly and freely. Is this something to worry about?
I am not a pro bike mechanic, but it might be the case that the grease inside have dried and hardened to the point where it's solid. You can either run it as long as it works, and then replace it entirely, or try to service it to extend its life. If it's Shimano cup/cone style, you can open it, clean it and re-grease it. If the balls and races are fine it could serve you for many more years to come.
I'll have to buy the tools to remove the crankset, and the bb, and then I can check what bb I have. Are there any additional tools I will need to service the bb?
I wish I saw this video I spent $68 on getting my bottom bracket replaced and fixed it totally seized up and the bike mechanic said it was shredded or whatever. And he said I need to stop doing bunny hops on my road bike to he said it was a contributing factor🤣🤣🤣
Hi Jeff!
Headsets!
Why is the crank so tight?
Sram DUB pressfit. Takes 54 NM torque. Nearly impossible to remove :D
