I am a bike mechanic, but you are a genius. Can't tell you how many times I've screwed and unscrewed trying to get spacing right. Well done.
Excellent, no other videos I’ve watched tackled sizing the internal spacers correctly. Thanks much!
Very helpful and good tips. Just installed a profile Euro BB on my Big Ripper. Appreciate you taking the guess work out of it since this is the first time I've done a Euro BB.
you are good and you know what your doing ...well done and thank you
European is a threaded cup with a bearing/bearings pressed into the cup. All modern BMX race frames have a threaded bottom bracket. Street, park and trail BMX bikes will have the press fit Spanish bottom bracket. Profile racing produces a european bottom bracket with two different cup types. Shimano's popular DXR and Saint cranks used by many BMX racers are euro as well.
great how-to vid thanks for posting. i get my euro bottom bracket & quamen clad g9 frame on friday. this will help! peace...
@19Dk95 Make sure you are spinning the right direction. First look at BB. Are there any metal shavings or splinter sized pieces of metal? If so the threads may be damaged. If found clean them off slowly with little force. Grease up the BB well, wipe it clean. Grease it up again and work grease into all the threads. Clean the BB cup. Apply grease and clean it again. Apply grease once more and set against the BB. Slowly spin with little force, the cup should catch the BB threads from spinning only
The color of this bike reminds me of that Next Chaos bike, look it up.
@captainsees Washers on the spindle will keep the bearings from compessing when you tighten the arms. The spindle washers fight the pressure applied by the arms allowing it all to be tight but spin.
@561representative Thanks. In BMX we are always changing out drive components. This helps speed it all up.
You could use mallet. Place a folded towel over the bearing after it's placed against the BB. Then place a 2x4 over the towel. Then tap the 2x4 with the mallet. Grease the BB and bearing well. The vise is better, grease even with that method. Tolerances are very tight so go slow.
All BMX racing frames have threads. You can use the spacing trick with any type of cup or press in, like a mid.
SICK FRAME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Nickizdaboss 19mm is the spindle size. Type of BB does not matter. It will be a 19 or a 22. But more than likely a 19. Euro cups are threaded, Spanish is a smaller American style you press in.
You will need a tool specific for the euro BB cups you have. If I am thinking of the right Redline BB, you will need the removal tool which looks like a cone with teeth on the end and can be used with a socket wrench. Or it may be the type that requires the flat style removal tool with grooves in it. Buying the tool will be well worth it. Any BMX shop or mountain bike shop will have the tool on hand. Thanks for checking in!
Victor. Sorry, but the spacer is not being used against a bolt to tighten anything, it is a spacer, not a washer. In other terms, the aluminum circle is used for creating distance, it is spacing out other material/components. If you don't get it then sorry.
@19Dk95 You can find American/euro cup adapters to make a press in American type BB's euro threaded.
Can you do a tutorial on how to install 3 or 2 piece cranks?
i just bought a Mechanik BB Kit will it come with different selves of will i have to even it out with the spacers? thanks for the video
Yes, threaded in a fashion so they don't spin loose.
@BETTERBMX Thank you but I already got everything done ahah,
It looks amazing now.
The crank install tutorial is coming shortly. You can subscribe to my videos and be notified when I upload a new tutorial. Thanks.
@Taketentot its not very hard you just do what he did, then you put the crank arms onto the spindle
where I can buy that Euro BB for my bmx bike?
@washington7002 danscomp is

Hello. I bought a new Odyssey Euro BB for my Volume Frame. The BB Case is exactly 68mm. When i test the new Odyssey BB outside with the only one included sleeve, i got 69,5mm. The sleeve is 1,5mm too long! How can it be...? What should i do? Thanks ;-)
@101diversity Thank you. Ride safe.
What kind of bottom bracket is that (make, model) great vid BTW!!
Nice Frame btw XD
i'm having really bad crank problems, how many spacers should i put on to prevent it from shaking? cause if i leave bolts loose, the cranks shake, if i put bolts average, it gets stiff to pedal?
I HAVE THE SAME ADJUSTABLE SPANNER :P
