Bottom Bracket Maintenance

  • Bottom Bracket Maintenance Figure 1For maintaining and servicing TRiPEAK bottom brackets, we strongly recommend hiring a trained bicycle mechanic at your local bike shop.
  • Regular maintenance is generally recommended after riding 5,000-10,000 km. If riding in harsh conditions (wet, dusty, extreme temperatures, etc.), it is advised to perform maintenance immediately after riding.
  • Avoid repeated disassembly and reassembly of the BB Cup unless necessary, as maintenance should only focus on the BB bearings to prevent damage to the frame.
  • Do not use high-pressure water jets to clean the BB to avoid water infiltration and bearing damage.
  • Regularly check the torque value of the BB Cup, and do not ride with a loose BB Cup.
  • Bearing specifications for T47-86 BB.
