My bike has developed a nasty creak from both cranks over the past few weeks. I narrowed it down to the bottom bracket. Since I needed to replace it anyway, I took the opportunity and got the best one available that is compatible with my bike. Saved 10 grams from my bike! Super speed up hills.

i don't anyone has ever told me to install the chain narrow to wide on the narrow wide chain ring, thank you!

I like your technique to protect your chain stay, using an old innertube wrapped around it! Genius!

@7:04 I had to remove that spacer/seal to install new SM-BBR60. Before I had SM-6700 and it worked well with my 3 sprocket crank. With new SM-BR60 chain would not go on 3rd- big outside cog. After your video I removed that seal. Under inspection I noticed the drive side cup of SM-6700 is different than SM-BR60. There is a groove where that spacer would fit in and crankset would move further in till the end. With SM-BR60 that spacer/seal is pressed against bottom bracket cup and it's few mm further out hence not letting derauleur to shift chain to outside cog. I did adjust derauleur to the maximum outside limit.
P.S. rewatching video I learned metal side goes towards cog. my one was opposite way. The old BB still worked with all cogs. Will try to reinstall it. I had this BB reassembled about 6 times trying to figure it out and test including reinstalling old BB to test chain/derauleur movement. Thank you for video. Still found it useful after 8 years.

FYI, the "seals or washer or whatever there called" are listed by Shimano as "Ring" and Code# Y1F316000. Informative vid, Thanks!

Hand tight has always worked in my ten years, not a noise, loosening or binding. One of the most reliable and easiest to service.

Thanks man, had my Surly moonlander blow up the bearings in my crank yesterday, your video gave me the confidence to replace it myself. Fellow North Westerner myself, wish I did more mountain trail riding when I was out there, but I did hike a lot of it.
