Bottom Bracket

Morning all

Just a quick question regarding BB's I am just about to replace my old one for a sealed shiny new one as well as some new crank bolts and I was wondering do I need to replace the crank arms as well or can I get away with it.



Cheers

I'm with User, don't spend unless you're compelled. If the cranks were installed correctly and have been re-tightened periodically there should'nt be a problem.

if numbers of folk agreeing helps, i'm with the other two also.

Cheers guys

I dont the cranks need replaceing but i'm going to get some new bolts to be on the safe side.

The BB will come with new bolts. Not that you need them, there's unlikely to be anything wrong with the old ones. I mean, go ahead and use them but with all due respect, 'on the safe side' isn't a valid reason.

I didn't realise that it came with new bolts.
