- Mura fireemu: Ensure the bicycle's bottom bracket shell threads are clean and free of debris. It is recommended to have the bottom bracket shell faced and chased by a professional bicycle mechanic for optimal alignment and performance.
- Apply Grease: Apply a thin, even layer of high-quality bicycle grease to the threads of both the bottom bracket shell and the Praxis bottom bracket cups.
- Install Drive Side Cup: Identify the drive-side cup (typically marked 'R' for right or drive side). Carefully thread it into the drive-side of the bottom bracket shell. Ensure it threads smoothly by hand to avoid cross-threading.
- Install Non-Drive Side Cup: Identify the non-drive side cup (typically marked 'L' for left or non-drive side). Carefully thread it into the non-drive side of the bottom bracket shell. Again, ensure it threads smoothly by hand.
- Torque Cups: Using the Praxis M30 Bottom Bracket Tool and a torque wrench, tighten both cups to the manufacturer's specified torque. The cups are marked with a recommended torque of 40 Nm. Adhering to this specification is crucial for proper function and longevity.
- Fi sori ẹrọ Crankset: Refer to your crankset manufacturer's instructions for proper installation onto the newly installed bottom bracket.
Akiyesi pataki: Incorrect installation or over-tightening can damage the bottom bracket or bicycle frame. If you are unsure about any step, consult a professional bicycle mechanic.
Isẹ
Once properly installed, the Praxis BSA 68/73mm Bottom Bracket operates seamlessly with your Shimano Hollowtech II compatible crankset. Its sealed Enduro 2437 steel bearings are designed to provide smooth, low-friction rotation for efficient power transfer.
No specific user operation is required for the bottom bracket itself beyond ensuring it is correctly installed and maintained. The bottom bracket facilitates the rotation of your crankset, allowing you to pedal your bicycle.
Itoju
Regular maintenance will extend the lifespan and ensure the smooth operation of your Praxis BSA 68/73mm Bottom Bracket.
- Ninu igbagbogbo: Periodically clean the exterior of the bottom bracket and the surrounding frame area to prevent accumulation of dirt and grime, which can ingress into the bearings over time.
- Ṣàyẹ̀wò fún Ìṣeré: Every few months, or if you notice any unusual noises from the bottom bracket area, check for play in the crankset. To do this, firmly grasp both crank arms and attempt to move them side-to-side relative to the frame. Any noticeable movement indicates potential wear or loosening.
- Tun-yika: If play is detected, or as part of a comprehensive bike service, check the torque of the bottom bracket cups using your torque wrench and Praxis M30 Bottom Bracket Tool. Re-tighten to 40 N-m if necessary.
- Ayẹwo ti o niiṣe: While the bearings are sealed, extreme conditions or prolonged use may lead to wear. If the bottom bracket feels rough or noisy during rotation (after removing the chain from the chainrings and spinning the cranks by hand), it may be time for bearing replacement or bottom bracket overhaul/replacement. This typically requires specialized tools and expertise.
Iṣọra: Do not attempt to disassemble the sealed bearings unless you have the proper tools and knowledge, as this can damage the unit.
