>not using hollowtech

bottom brackets are the fucking worst for tools. When I was swapping out the one on my 80's bike I had to buy 3 tools to get the one in there out, and then another tool to install the new one.

...for a part that nobody will ever see. Hipsterism is about reception by others, no?

I like these ones. Nice old MKS sylvans. I'm in the process of overhauling them now, I was just disappointed my stroke still felt so nasty after changing the BB

You actually need two. Makes it wayy easier.

It's like selvage jeans. Only for the discerning hipster, and the hipster will be sure to point it out every time.

I've got a set of older Mikashimas, too. Are they catridge bearings, or something else?

Oldschool cup & cone. Yours are cart?

>>900213
Dunno yet; haven't opened them up. Was just asking because of my unfamiliarity

>>900242
Ah I see. Well yours seem to have a pretty different design in some respects, but rebuilding these was a bitch. Trying to place all the tiny little bearings in avoiding the body of the pedal with my fingers, trying not to let them fall through the center of the pedal, fuck.

Hub and freehub body bearing removal/installation is worse.

>>900256
I haven't overhauled a freehub body but hubs are less hassle than that pedal IMO.
