As my Easton bottom bracket ended up with some pretty substantial bearing drag, I wanted to address this by getting a new bottom bracket. This time I wanted to try a "thread-fit" or "thread-together" or "torque tite" design... but before I could install the new bottom bracket, I needed to hammer out the old one... the horror

Threaded BBs are so underrated...

The bike industry is hilarious. It's effingly effing hilarious.

BB creaks, actually isn't the bearings but friction between bearing shell and the bike frame, I changed mine for BB infinite, now the ride is like a butter, great video, thank you! V!

That secret ‘grease’ looks much like Morgan Blue aquapaste, a marine waterproof grease, which I love to use as it stays in place and is totally waterproof

You didn't weigh the Easton bearing cover vs the shims? What if there's a 1/2 gram difference😱

Has anybody 'felt' how smooth WHEELS MANUFACTURING BB'S re compared to CANE CREEK or even CHRIS KING? (don't chime in stupidly if you have not, stay quiet)

Just installed a Hambini one-piece BB on my bike as the Rotor BB initially installed was creaking and ended up with a prematurely worn non-drive side bearing. Smooth spinning!

Had the same issue when pairing my EC90 cranks to a Rotor 386EVO BB. Luckily I have a lathe at work so made a thick spacer.

Thanks for introducing Token bottom brackets to me. I am giving it a try in my Diverge. No need to mess around with Loctite and much more convenient for upgrading to Di2 in the near future. By the way, always looking forward to your entertaining videos.

This was the video that made me hit the subscription button of your channel. Fantastic observations at the beginning of the video about de BB. Have a nice work guy. Loves your comments.

I am SOOOO pleased that you found token NINJA PF BBs. I've used them a few times now and cannot rate them high enough. Also the alignment is so accurate that I made a video of the installed cranks being spun up to high speed using just the home air compressor. NINJAs give you watts.....!!!!!

love your videos. I just changed my pressfit bottom bracket and my screwed on bottom bracket. I must say that the installation with the screwed bottom bracket (BBR60) is way easier. With the pressfit I had to ask a friend of mine who had more "balls" to hammer it out...However, my pressfit bottom bracket (dura ace quality) lasted for over 30.000 km!!! and I never had single problem. When I changed it I saw hardly any dirt in the shell or around it. I was almost dead-clean. Impressive! The screwed bottom bracket on the other hand, I had to change every 10.000km (105 quality...) I think that new "technology" that you just used uses the advantages of both worlds. So I am excited to see some progress in that area. Changing your bottom bracket everzy 10k is not really much fun.... For me that would be twice a year and that just sucks.

your style is great: amusing and very informational at the same time. I really hope you get a lot more subs

I went through pretty much the same thing, now I use a Token Ninja (with a DUB crank) and it works great. I also used a Wheels MFG (Shimano GXP) on another bike, also without problems. Great stuff!

I'm in. Loved this vlog as a perpetual meddler in trying to remove creaks from my press fits. I elect you El Presidenti of Bottom Brackets and lets all get back to threads.

Very helpful. Pressed fit bbs put me off given the common issue of bb creak. Also difficult to change out. But the bike I'm interested in has a bb30. This video helped me rethink whether to go ahead with a bike with pressed fit. Thanks.
