    @Free To Cycle, thank you very much for taking the time to do a step by step tutorial on the removal & installation for the SRAM DUB BSA bottom bracket. I just purchased the SRAM Eagle Nx version, and your video goes into much greater detail than the one on the actual SRAM website. Also, thank you for pointing out not to over tighten the 2mm retention allen screw, as I've read incidents where people have stripped them out, and damaged the bearings. I love your videos, as well as RJ the Bike Guy's videos as well. Keep up the great work, and have an awesome day!!

(Ironically when I slid the left crank arm & spindle out of the BB, I tore the left blue o-ring in half! Figures!!! Dammit SRAM, stop making such delicate parts!!!

  • @dudeonbike800
    @dudeonbike800 2 года назад

    Hey, it's THIS guy! Searched NX BB removal and this was the first result. I first saw Free to Cycle in his post-crash incident video. I came here after a friend was hit similarly. Mega OUCH!
    Anyway, anyone else here come across a REALLY tight NX crank bolt? The Scott Spark is 2 years old, stored indoors and not ridden in inclement weather. I USUALLY pull apart a new bike bought at the LBS and re-build it with proper lube, spoke tensioning, radial & lateral truing to higher spec, etc. But I didn't get around to doing this bike, so I have no idea of the original condition of the crank bolt. Most certainly in there with the factory grease - if any.
    But wow, that 8mm aluminum bolt would NOT release! Attempted removal with my normal 8mm allen wrench. Wouldn't budge. So I took the Milwaukee 12V Fuel impact wrench, setting 2 to it. NOPE! So I gave setting 3 a try and not a chance! Dang! But I stopped short before doing any impact damage to the Al bolt.
    So I put the bike on its right side, inserted the 8mm allen wrench to plug the bolt hole (with some electrical tape to seal) and filled the bottom of the BB axle/spindle with PB Blaster penetrating oil. Let it sit for THREE days!
    Went at it again with the wrenches & impact and it still wouldn't budge. So I left it for a few weeks so the wife could ride it in the interim. Oh and I picked up a replacement 8mm SRAM bolt at the IBD, knowing I was gonna destroy the OEM bolt in the removal process...
    Just went back at it half an hour ago. I torqued it so hard I twisted my drill-to-3/8" socket attachment! (Not torque rated, but it had lasted over 10 years of mostly drill use.)
    That didn't release it either. So before breaking out the Dremel with cutting wheel, I secured the crank arm in place and slid my breaker bar over the 8mm wrench and gave it one last try.
    "SQUEEEEK-BAM!" It finally let go! Thank god. But boy are the 8mm "flats" inside the bolt done! Glad I have the spare ready to go.
    So I'm curious if this bolt/spindle combination is prone to seizing up. Will use ample Mobil One synthetic waterproof grease on everything during reassembly. Might add some anti-seize to the thread grease while I'm at it.
    So the cranks are off, but now I see it's a press-fit BB of some sort. Dammit! Don't want to trash the bearings removing it. So I figured I'd get some tips before doing something I'd regret! I'm doing this all to just install a damn dropper post the wife has been lacking these two + years now. Sheesh!
    Darn, this is a threaded BB.... off to another video to see how the press fit removal is recommended. Thanks anyway!

    If I just want to remove my driveside crank ( im adding a powermeter to force asx spider) do I still need to losen nondrive side first? Thanks for the great videos you are always on point.

      No not if your just changing the drive side arm. It’s best check the non drive side adjustment afterwards though!
