I have a Ribble Winter which is starting to make a creaking / clicking noise from (I think) the bottom bracket. It's had very little maintenance over the last few thousand miles, so I thought I'd attempt to remove, and maybe replace the bottom bracket to see if that sorts out the noise (and also, because it's about time I learned how to do it!).
The chainset is a Shimano Sora Triple, but I have no idea how to find out which BB I need to get? I'm a bit new to this level of bike maintenance! Are bottom brackets all interchangeable, or do I need some specific to my frame/chainset?
Also, do I need a BB tool to remove the existing one? A small amount of Googling appears to indicate I need a Shimanon TLFC32 tool, but to be honest, I'm a little out of my depth here!
Thanks for any advice you can give, specifically which/what type of BB I need to get.
