Bottom Brackets

You may not even realise the importance of the bottom bracket on your bike, but when it needs replacing, you’ll certainly feel the difference. The bottom bracket connects the bike’s cranks to the bike so they can rotate easily as you pedal and power up the drivetrain. It sits at the point where your frame’s down tube, seat tube and chain stays meet.

Road Bike and MTB Bottom Brackets

How do you know if your bottom bracket needs replacing? We recommend lifting your small chainring off and spinning the cranks. If you experience any side-to-side wobbling or unusual grittiness, then it’s worth looking for a replacement bottom bracket for your bike. There are brackets designed for mountain bikes and road bikes individually, but you can also find more generic products too.
