And while it would not matter on the drive side, I would be loathe to push a GXP left inner race sleeve into one of those plastic top-hat-shaped cover seals if you have a 37 X 25 ID bearing.
So, check to make sure that when you pull out your Dura-Ace crank that you find a steel surface inside the bearing; if it is a plastic surface connected to the outer cover seal, you have a 37 X 25 bearing, and I would not use that on the left side. Of course, even if your Shimano bearing kit in your Madone has 37 X 25 bearings, you could always just get your own 37 X 24 bearing for the left side even a ceramic one if you want to go 0.
If you can get your mitts on an Enduro or Phil Wood puller for removing and installing the bearing in an external-bearing cup I described how to use these in that VeloNews issue 9 article on ceramic bearing upgrade , then you can just pull the left bearing out of a TruVativ cup and use it, along with the cover seal it had. You can just leave the right bearing from your Dura-Ace crank in the frame, but you need to get a 24mm ID wavy washer or come up with some other ingenious way to take up a little lateral slop without putting lateral stress on your drive-side bearing.

If it fails i will use another filament like pc or pteg or nylon.
Is there an illustration or more detailed description of this emulated Shimano setup somewhere? Non-drive side bearing fails magnitudes faster than the drive side. Not quite sure if Enduro bearings makes it better or worse. Second Praxis crankset did not have that problem. Table of Contents. Next post: Hambini Roasts: Trifox X No good without pictures!
What is the total weight including bearings and sleeve inserts? Total weight of the bottom bracket? Ronald Weasley. Please leave a reply to add to the discussion! Okay now that the chain is off we also need to remove the pedals. For these I'm gonna use a park pedal wrench. Keep in mind that each side of the pedals has a different thread. With the right side the drive side paddle it's a traditional right hand thread meaning clockwise to tighten and counterclockwise to loosen the left hand side is the opposite.
So the left hand side were gonna go counterclockwise to tighten and clockwise to loosen. I'm gonna hold the opposite pedal here still and just leverage it until its loosened, and then I can grab it. Now that we've removed the chain and the pedals we can remove the crank arms. We want to access the non drive side of the bike we have the crank arm fixing bolt located right here.
To remove we need an eight-millimeter hex wrench and we're gonna turn this inner bolt counterclockwise. These bolts are usually installed using a good amount of torque, so it may take some work to get it started. Secure the crank arm like so and loosen the bolt. Now we'll continue loosening until the crank arm is completely removed. Now we can remove the rest of the crank simply by pulling it out on the opposite side. If you want to change your chainrings or if you're replacing the crank, the entire crank itself, this is the way to do it.
I've found it's always easier to change out chain rings with the crank arm removed from the bike. Pull it slowly through the bottom bracket until you see and hear the larger expanded end click inside the bearing cup. Use a hammer to strike the end of the tool to remove the cup.
The surface preparation is an important consideration and there are several options. Surface prep can help prevent corrosion, aid in future removal, and prevent creaking during use. Check also with the frame and component manufacturers. Some carbon fiber frame manufacturers recommend clean, dry surfaces when installing a bottom bracket.
Besides simply clean, the top options for surface preparation include grease, anti-seize, and a retaining compound. It will be less likely to dissipate and wash away with exposure to water.
Grease makes the pressing easier. It also provides a layer to help prevent corrosion. It will be durable to some degree. Retaining compounds, such as Park Tool RC-1, are a type of adhesive that hardens and expands once applied, creating a barrier and filling any gaps while providing pressure.
Retaining compounds are good at preventing creaking. However it may take more effort to remove, such as mild heat from a hair dryer. Installation of a press fit bottom bracket is similar to a pressed headset.
