I just used a BB30, Got the old one out with a hammer and screwdriver. Just pressed mine in with a rubber mallet and a socket. Messed up around the frame a little but saved me 70 on tools.PaulH wrote:I want to fit those cranks is there an external bottom bracket I can use ?

That sounds like a great way to damage your bb shell07stuntin6r wrote: ↑Fri Oct 19, 2018 12:40 amI just used a BB30, Got the old one out with a hammer and screwdriver. Just pressed mine in with a rubber mallet and a socket. Messed up around the frame a little but saved me 70 on tools.

How so? I've worked on cars and used this method for bearings before. The socket for bearing and was smaller in diameter of the shell.silvalis wrote:That sounds like a great way to damage your bb shell07stuntin6r wrote: ↑Fri Oct 19, 2018 12:40 amI just used a BB30, Got the old one out with a hammer and screwdriver.

This isn't a steel car, it's a much softer aluminium bb30 shell with much tighter tolerances and in a relatively high stress area that is subject to lateral loading. Assuming you didn't damage the bearing after whacking it with a rubber mallet and a metal socket, there's no guarantee that you didnt put the bearing in properly straight and slightly ovalise the bb shell. There's a reason why BB presses are presses with guide rods and not hammer in jobs.07stuntin6r wrote: ↑Fri Oct 19, 2018 1:29 amHow so? I've worked on cars and used this method for bearings before.

You'll find out if it went in properly or not after a few hundred km - if it starts to creak.

I'm sure it will be fine, it has rings that are inside if those are flush with bearing then it more than likely in flush and straight.silvalis wrote:This isn't a steel car, it's a much softer aluminium bb30 shell with much tighter tolerances and in a relatively high stress area that is subject to lateral loading.

The point he's trying to make is that the aluminum shell is relatively soft and using a hammer to bang a steel bearing into an aluminum shell could very well damage the shell in a way that isn't going to be immediately visibly apparent without careful inspection.07stuntin6r wrote: ↑Fri Oct 19, 2018 2:02 amI'm sure it will be fine, it has rings that are inside if those are flush with bearing then it more than likely in flush and straight.silvalis wrote:This isn't a steel car, it's a much softer aluminium bb30 shell with much tighter tolerances and in a relatively high stress area that is subject to lateral loading.

The better cheap DIY way would have been to get a threaded rod, some large, thick washers, and some bolts and make a cheap press. That way there's much less risk of damage due to blunt force trauma.

Thinking of parting out my Allez Sprint X1 Limited in 61cm. If anyone is looking for full Sram Force groupset or 61cm frameset - DM me.
