Replace Caged Bearings With Loose Bearings In Bottom Bracket Overhaul
Posted by on in Bottom BracketsDetails
I show how to overhaul a bike bottom bracket, and replace the retainer cage bearings with loose bearings. The advantage of loose bearings is there are more bearings to take the load and not being in a cage, they can move more freely. The disadvantage is that they take more time/work to install. I disassemble, clean, lube and reassemble the bottom bracket with loose bearings. I also show removing and installing the cranks.
