bottom bracket change: BSA 68/73, is this all I need ?

Hi,

I got myself a new bike a recently, but I may already have an issue with the BB making clicky noises.

The crankset is a Gates CDC S301 (really a ProWheel) and the BB description says BSA 68/73.

A quick look online produces lots of results, so I'm at loss what to pick. Would any BB with the above description fit ?

I believe it's included. The 68/73 is it's max /mum width!

You shouldn't have any issues with the BB on a new bike and if you do then you should be returning it to be put right by the seller. You shouldn't need to put it right yourself. You may even be running the risk of invalidating any warranty that's in force if you do start working on it yourself.
