FAQs
Does this pack include two bearings?
No, the Hope Bottom Bracket Bearing is sold individually.
Is this compatible with non-Hope bottom brackets?
These bearings are specifically designed for Hope bottom bracket systems and may not fit other brands correctly.
Can I replace this bearing without special tools?
It is highly recommended to use a bearing press tool to prevent damage to the bearing or your bike frame.
How often should I replace my bottom bracket bearings?
Replacement frequency depends on riding conditions and mileage; replace them if you feel roughness when rotating the crank by hand or hear grinding noises.
Should I add extra grease during installation?
Yes, applying a thin layer of bicycle-specific grease to the outer race will facilitate installation and help resist moisture.
Troubleshooting
Cracking or clicking sound while pedaling
Ensure the bearing is fully seated and the crankset bolts are torqued to manufacturer specifications.
Increased friction or resistance
Check that the seals are not pinched or deformed during the installation process.
Bearing does not fit the shell
Verify the model number of your bottom bracket to ensure it is compatible with the BBSP108:S component.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High build quality consistent with Hope components
- Compatible with a wide range of Hope bottom bracket models
- Helps extend the lifespan of your existing bottom bracket shell
- Precision-engineered for reduced drivetrain friction
Cons
- Sold individually, requiring two purchases for a full replacement
- Requires professional-grade tools for proper installation
- Installation can be difficult without a bearing press
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires a dedicated bearing press tool to ensure the unit is seated squarely. Attempting to hammer or drive the bearing in manually can damage the seal or race.
Compatibility: This bearing is designed specifically for use in compatible Hope bottom bracket systems.
Care Instructions:
- Keep the bottom bracket area clean of debris and grime.
- Apply a light layer of high-quality waterproof bike grease to the contact surfaces before installation.
- Avoid using high-pressure water washers directly on the bottom bracket area, as this can force moisture past the seals and lead to premature bearing failure.
