## Description

Deore bottom bracket

Review: Very well made, surprisingly cheap - I have replaced the bottom bracket on my mountain bike tourer about 4 times in 10 years and each one has lasted thousands of miles in different conditions before starting to get crunchy. The price is reasonable, the parts are easy to find and replacement is easy with the park tool wrench. I’m a happy customer.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What size spanner is required for this?**
A: It's a specific bottom bracket tool. Search "Park Tool BBT-9" for an example. Range of prices, from cheap Chinese kit up to the Park Tool version.

**Q: What bearings do I need for my axil to on to the bottom bracket?**
A: Firstly, not enough info to answer accurately, and secondly, it's sounds like you'd be better off taking the bike to a shop to get the answer you need...
However, this BB comes with bearings already installed that work for Shimano hollowtech 2 cranks with a 24mm axle... If you don't have those, this isn't the right part.

**Q: Will this fit 73mm**
A: Yes, just run one of three spacers on the drive side cup.

**Q: Hi, do i have to buy a separate spindle for my standard 8mm bolt cranks to attach to?...thanks**
A: This is for a hollowtech 2 type chainset.  The spindle is part of the chainset itself and a 24mm width. The non drive crank fits onto the rest of the chainset using a splined connection and two pinch bolts. I think this would be unsuitable, it sounds like you need a regular square taper bottom bracket or possibly a an octalink version, depending on what cranks you use.
Probably best to take your old one out and match part numbers/sizes.
