    I really appreciate that after a two-month break, you're uploading a video again. The music is great as always... Very interesting information about assembling the BB... I had no idea about that order... and on one of my frames, I actually have a misalignment... interesting information about Morata... what more could you ask for...? Maybe just that you don’t take such long breaks from uploading videos. :-)))) PS. Question for the expert: Do you think that after every season (4000km, all weather), it’s necessary to disassemble the bottom bracket (BB), inspect it, clean the threads, etc.? The same question regarding the headset.

      @@pawelkarpinski7961 Thank you. Regarding the time with no uploads. I am a workshop of one person and after this summer there was quite a big rush of people wanting to get there bikes maintained/repaired, so the last couple weeks have been all about service and few projects. I do enjoy putting the work up for people to see but the business comes first. In regards to the question of should someone remove the BB each season, i would say it really depends on the conditions. If you live in a place with a very large temperature difference over one season, snow, salted roads and such, I think its not a bad idea, in that it, the removal, inspection, and cleaning can prevent oxidation from taking hold in that area. Also depends on the design of BB. If we are talking about an old cup and cone type BB then the answer is immediately yes. Remove, clean, inspect, regrease, replace and adjust. If we are talking about sealed bearings, there isnt really any adjustment that can be made and the only real benefit would be to clean and renew the anti-sieze. There of course is a note of caution as every time you remove and replace the BB thats added stress on the threads. Some people are notorious for cross threading and that can maul the threads enough such that there isnt enough material left to create a sturdy enough union and the bb will eventually strip the BB and or BB shell. With head set again depends on design. In my experience loose ball headsets are more prone to contamination and for that reason more maintenance is required. Hope that helps.
