Complete Guide to BMX Mid Bottom Bracket Installation

This is a video showing you how I install a BMX mid bottom bracket using different techniques. I made a couple mid bottom bracket videos already but I want to combine it all into one video and add some things I feel I missed the first time.
If you're in the market for a 19mm Mid Bottom Bracket, I recommend- amzn.to/3YYsBXU
or a 22mm Mid Bottom Bracket? - amzn.to/40iPtTj

My mission is to keep more bicycle riders in the sport.
Whether you can't afford to take it to a shop,
you don't have a way to transport it to the shop,
you don't have time to take it in for repairs,
or you just want to learn to fix, repair, and upgrade your own bike,
I will help to keep your bike running smooth and you riding longer.

I know it's been a while since you've made a video I hope you're not stopping. Your videos have been so helpful to a guy getting back into the BMX world. Truly appreciate it you've helped me more than you know!

[@thebasementbikeshop2336]

Thank you. I'm not stopping. I have had a rough year that started with a divorce and ended with my father passing. But great things are coming. I'm going to redo a couple videos and then my next new video will be installing a free coaster hub on my bike. WTP hybrid. Thanks for watching.

@@thebasementbikeshop2336 oh man I'm so sorry to hear that. My dad had a stroke this year so I get it, it's like a piece of him was taken away. Hopefully things are looking up for you. I recently picked up my childhood 94 VFR and I'm using your videos to help me learn how to restore it so huge thanks.

A miter saw with a carbide blade should cut the spindle spacer nicely. Shadow Conspiracy makes a sweet bottom bracket set, stands out from the crowd, love their products.

[@shaun4bigblocks993]

It is not a spacer, it is a "sleeve." It is optional. The purpose is for spindle corrosion control. OH yeah, and you need to buy an arbor press if you want to do it "right".

Every bike should have 19mm mid press fit bearings. They literally last forever

[@jaewardtattoo]

If I am replacing a bottom bracket, could I just use my existing spacer, as it's all ready the correct size?

[@tomlarcher1]

I've never used a spacer at all.. Just thrown them away..

[@francissobotka8725]

Or you use washers and a some all thread

Mid bb is way better and simple yet more strong, but comes with a price....

[@hulkster4374]

exactly, don’t why it’s not on mtb’s press fit 19mm are built for tough and the long haul
