Installing Road Bicycle Bottom Bracket

Generally if your bottom bracket is creaking or crunchy when cranking up a hill then it's time for a new bottom bracket. I learned everything I need to know about bottom brackets from Sheldon Brown and his website is here.

Look up what model bottom bracket you are going to need to install for your bike. Obtain a bottom bracket tool and bike grease. Once you have those, left up your sleeves and let's get started.

Take out old bottom bracket and clean out the old grease with WD-40 or brake cleaner. Be sure to wear a mask and protective eyewear.

Place in new grease into the bottom bracket (Spread evenly) and install new bottom bracket.

Put back on pedal handle and now your bike is good as new.
