Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility: This bottom bracket is specifically designed for use with Miche cranksets such as Pistard 2.0, Pistard Air, and Team Evo Max. It features both English (BSC/BSA) 1.370"x24tpi and Italian (ITA) 36x24tpi thread standards. Ensure your bicycle frame has the corresponding bottom bracket shell threading before installation.
Setup: Installation requires a compatible bottom bracket tool. The cups should be threaded in carefully to avoid cross-threading. For English threads, the drive-side cup is typically reverse-threaded, while the non-drive side is standard-threaded. For Italian threads, both cups are standard-threaded. It is recommended to apply a thin layer of grease to the threads before installation.
Care: To maintain optimal performance, regularly clean the exterior of the bottom bracket. While the sealed bearings are protected, avoid high-pressure water jets directly at the unit. Periodic checks for play or noise are advisable. If any issues arise, professional servicing or replacement of the bearings may be necessary.
