BBInfinite Hammer-Out Conventional PressFit BB Removal Method

Описание: Master Tool Set bb Removal video:
We now have a conventional hammer-out method for safely removing one of our BBInfinite bottom bracket modules that I’m going to demonstrate for you right now.
We introduce out Master Tool Set to you awhile back. It’s perfect for the installation and service of our pressfit bb’s, and all others on the market as well, but it’s also exactly what’s need for the removal of any BBInfinite module. You can still use the old air hammer method---my personal favorite method---or a conventional hammer-out method that I’ll demonstrate for you right now.
The key is this strike face feature on the drive nut. When you hit this with a steel hammer it will mushroom a bit, but because of this taper it will not deform to the point that you won’t be able to get a socket on it ever again. A brass hammer is recommended is you don’t want to deform it at all, but once again it’s designed as a sacrificial feature so you can feel free to just go for it with a steel hammer.
Wear eye protection and hearing protection whenever you’re swinging a hammer, no matter what.
Lock these dies on like so and you’ll have adequate stand off from the bike and a free hand to steady the tool.
As the bb nears removal this free hand becomes very important if you’re going it alone seeing that you don’t want the whole assembly flying out suddenly and hitting the deck, which will cause damage to the module among other things.


Which type of bottom bracket module do I need??

Email us at [email protected] and let know the bicycle frame type (e.g. road), frame manufacturer, frame model and model year, and crank type (manufacturer and model), and with this information we'll reply with a link directly to the product you need. Attach a few pictures showing the crank and bottom bracket area clearly, and one of the entire bicycle to aid us in our quest to get you on the right track.


Creaking Bottom Bracket Section

My bottom bracket is creaking and I've tried everything to fix it. How does a BBInfinite Bottom Bracket module fix a creaking problem?

We fit creaking bottom brackets with proper engineering and precision machining. Watch this brief BBInfinite primer PressFit Perfection to get the lowdown on how we do it while all others fail.


I heard that PressFit bikes just creak. Is that true?

No, that is completely false information. PressFit bb's offer the potential for the highest level performance possible, thanks to BBInfinite. There is no reason for your PressFit bike to creak, crunch, crack, or make any noises at all. Unless the frame is cracked the bike will be quiet.


Can a creaking and popping bottom bracket damage my frame?

Yes, it can. A creaking bottom bracket means there's movement between the bb and the frame. The more a bottom bracket creaks the more it is moving. This movement over time can wallow out the frame bb shell openings, enlarging them and elongating them, making them more susceptible to creaking and making it impossible to fit new bb's. Don't freak out, it takes a long time. We've seen only a handful of bikes go in the junk heap due to bb shell ovalization. Install a BBInfinite module to save your frame, and your sanity.
