In this video I introduce various bottom bracket types that are installed on most bikes. We compare 4-edge, Octalink, Hollowtech 2, GXP (Truvativ) and a press-fit bottom bracket. We also look at which bottom brackets fit in a frame with a BSA thread. Finally, I introduce the tool that is needed to remove the crank and bottom bracket so that you can change your bottom bracket. This is just a small overview of the bottom brackets that I think are most commonly installed on bikes. I will not go into the BB30 bottom bracket.
