Bottom Brackets

Bottom Brackets

There are a few variations of bottom brackets a bike will have such as threaded, press-fit, and external cup. A bottom bracket is a component that sits inside the bike frame and connects to the crankset or chainset with crank arms that attach to the pedals and that's what makes your bike go (with the help of your body of course!) Another purpose of a bottom bracket is to support the weight of the rider plus support the force being created when pedaling. This is why it's important for bottom brackets to be maintained and checked, especially if you ride your bike hard. Sun & Ski Sports has bottom brackets to get you back on the road or trail in no time!
