Troubleshooting
Difficulty installing the bottom bracket.
Ensure you are using the correct tools and following the specific installation guide for the QCK-Tech system. Verify frame compatibility and clean the bottom bracket shell thoroughly before installation.
Grinding or clicking noise from the bottom bracket.
Check that the crankset is properly secured to the bottom bracket's semi-axles and that all bolts are torqued to specification. Inspect the seals and bearings for any signs of contamination or damage.

Confirm the bottom bracket is correctly installed and that the bearings are running freely. Ensure the crankset is fully seated onto the semi-axles. If the issue persists, consult a professional bike mechanic.
