Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your bike frame shell is clean and free of old grease or debris. Apply a light layer of high-quality bike grease to the contact surfaces. Using a proper press-fit bottom bracket tool, slowly and evenly press the cups into the frame. Ensure the included 0.5mm or 1.0mm spacers are used correctly between the crank arm and the bearing seal to prevent lateral play in the spindle. For maintenance, periodically wipe the exterior of the silicone dust seals and check for any play in the crank arms. If bearings eventually feel gritty, they can be serviced or replaced using standard shop practices for ABEC-3 bearings.
