Clicking and creaking noise when pedalling uphill or under load...

Thanks, I phrased my question badly. All I basically meant was 'Are the BB and spanner compatible without the need for the adapter?'.
You've answered that for me.

I should've ordered the adapter ring too - the spanner hole is too big for the BB 😆

Got the adapter ring now.

It fits perfectly over the BB.
However, it's a tight fit for the spanner hole. I think I'll have to tap it in with a hammer.
Very poor design!

I remember having to tap it in with a rubber mallet. Very tight fit. Then, when the job was done, I tapped it out only to discover it had split 🙁

It's not a job I plan on doing very often, so I might just leave the adapter fitted to the spanner.

That's what I would do.

Replacing a BbR60 Bottom bracket...do I need to put grease on the crankshaft? What do you think?

 

[Mazz]

Cancel that question, no need for grease there.

I always smear a little

In the end I thought 'it can't hurt ', so I did.

I always do, it can help resist any corrosion issues.

I've recently had this as I've just got my bike road ready again. Clean and grease: saddle clamp bolts; seat post clamp; BB threads; pedal threads; cassette and grease the hub where the cassette slides on; handle bar clamp. If not of that works there's the chain ring bolts and also the cleat bolts on your shoes. Good luck

I'm a 'no' as well. It's a spindle btw (link).
But you may wish to consider replacing the large chainring. I'm guessing you're a 'big ring' man.

You're right, it is a spindle.
Yes, I'm mainly on that large chainring.
I'm glad I posted the picture.
