Lubricating the bottom bracket and bearings of a bicycle - what really extends its lifespan
Lubricating the bottom bracket and bearings directly impacts the lifespan of a bicycle, but improper lubrication can often have the opposite effect.
In this video, we'll explore when lubrication truly extends life, and when it accelerates wear and leads to squeaks and play.
I'll calmly and step-by-step explain:
– Which bearings can and should be serviced
– When lubrication is useless or harmful
– The difference between cartridge and loose-fill bearings
– Why overlubrication is often worse than none
– What mistakes most often lead to bottom bracket and bearing replacement
This video will be useful for both beginners and those who already service their bikes themselves and want to do it properly, without myths and unnecessary expenses.
