    Hey Monty! Wising myself up to do my first BB90 service and your video helped me a lot! Have Enduro BB90s on my bike and also picked up the Trek bearings with the spacer, so really glad you could make the crank spindle play nice with the dust cover/spacer!

    Great video, very helpful, however, instead of using grease in the BB shell , if you had used loctite it would have most likely prevented the creaking returning.

    As Michael mentioned, I believe you should be using Loctite to fit the bearings, not grease. I’m currently debating whether I buy the tools and fix the creak myself or take it to the bike shop.

    • @actonblue2012

      It all depends what the BB manufacturer's recommend. On Wheels Manufacturing PF 30 they say only use grease as loctite etc will void their warranty.

    When removing a BB90 bottom bracket, Park Tool recommends using a plug, such as 15-17mm socket, in the removal tool to help the splines remain in contact with the bearing you're removing. I haven't tried this, but based on the video and other comments, I thought I'd share this suggestion.

    Isn't it better to press/push out the bearing instead of hammering it? Also do you need loctite primer before using adhesive compound?

      ...er yes. Through my own incompetence. That bit about preventing the non drive side bearing diameter reducer from popping out came from me f-ing it up the first time. I had to force it back in, and in doing so there's a little crack. After I rode in the wet, there's a little crackly creak. Bought some replacement reducers so just need to get around to replacing it - might use the BB press to do it this time...

  • @castorix83

    Mmm, I think that the "dust cover" should be removed. The shaft should be in direct contact with the steel of the bearing.... now instead you have some plastic between.

    • @sophierose1133
      @sophierose1133 2 года назад

      Have you found an answer to this? I recently removed mine on the same model of bike (womens) and they had what definitely looked like those plastic covers still in. I am unsure if those were the bearings the bike originally came with as it's a 2013 model and I only bought it a couple of years ago. However I think they must be the originals as they failed about a year after I got it (moderate use).

  • @mrichards55
    @mrichards55 4 года назад +3

    BB90 is a nightmare. The frame shell is never the exact measurement, you have to use primer and loctite to fit, the bearings seize and then you have to take a hammer to your bike to extract them.

    • @Sportivecyclist
      @Sportivecyclist  4 года назад +1

      I’d certainly heard that sort of thing Michael. My experience replacing them wasn’t too bad. Hopefully the new bearings will be good for another 6 odd years. I note the new Domane, Emonda etc don’t use BB90 anymore...

  • @lanceblack888
    @lanceblack888 Год назад

    You don’t actually need all the expensive tools. You can tap out the bearing with a screwdriver and rubber mallet and press the new bearings in by hand. The dust covers are interesting. The drive side beating gets dirty very quickly. Thanks, L
