Precautions & Inspections
Usage precautions
Avoid using high-pressure water directly on the bearing.
Minimize the removal of adapter bushings from the crankarm; if necessary, remove them from the inside of the bottom bracket.
Avoid using corrosive agents or highly degreasing agents on the surfaces.
Don’t use carbon paste with our products.
All connecting parts must be greased.
Adverse weather conditions or muddy terrains can shorten the intervals between inspections and reduce product lifespan.
We recommend conducting regular visual inspections to identify early signs of wear, such as accumulated dirt, leaks, or damage to the cranks or external components.
The bottom bracket is designed to be maintenance-free, requiring no greasing or internal adjustments. Opening the bearing may compromise its functionality and void the warranty.
Inspection of bottom bracket condition
Regular inspections should be performed to assess the bearing’s condition. It ensures its correct functioning throughout the entire training session and prevents further damage.
