Bottom Bracket Selection Guide
BBInfinite Is THE Cervélo BBRight Authority
BBInfinite is the Cervélo BBright authority. More power through greater efficiency and NO CREAKS. That's the BBInfinite way. Master Tool Set bottom bracket 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 introduced out Master Tool Set to you awhile back. It's perfect for the installation and service of our pressfit bottom brackets, 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 if 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 bottom bracket 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.
Product Selection Section: Which type of bottom bracket module do I need?? Email us at info@bbinfinite.com 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 bottom brackets 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 bottom bracket and the frame. The more a bottom bracket creaks, the more it is moving. This movement over time can wallow out the frame bottom bracket 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 bottom bracket shell ovalization. Install a BBInfinite module to save your frame, and your sanity.
We here at BBInfinite are the Cervélo BBRight experts. These bikes are truly a technological marvel, but with an Achilles heel, the press-fit BBRight bottom bracket. It can creak, and squeak, and it can almost drive one to drink, so we fixed it with this; the one-piece BBRight bottom bracket. By distilling the bottom bracket down to just the essentials we eliminated everything that can creak, and in the process created the most efficient pedaling platform possible. We buy Cervélo's because they're the lightest, stiffest, most aero bikes around. With a BBInfinite bottom bracket installed, a Cervélo becomes the quietest and most mechanically efficient bike as well. BBInfinite: Make your Cervélo infinitely faster
