SAFETY INFORMATION – READ BEFORE RIDE
Since specific tools and experience are necessary for proper installation, it is recommended that the product be installed by a qualified bicycle technician.
Read the service instructions of your crank carefully prior to installing the parts. Loose, worn or damaged parts may cause riding problems and serious injury may occur as a result. If installation and adjustments are not carried out correctly, the chain may come off and this may cause you to fall off the bicycle which could result in serious injury. Read these instructions carefully, and keep them for later use.
- Ensure that your BB30/PF30 frame shell is clean. If a BB30 frame, remove the c-clips/bearings so frame shell is empty.
- Before riding the bicycle, check that there is no play or looseness in the bottom bracket connection. Also, be sure to retighten the crankarms and pedals at periodic intervals.
- If you feel any looseness or ‘play’ in the bearings, the bottom bracket should be inspected/replaced.
- Be sure to read the instructions for your front chainrings/crank in conjunction with these service instructions.
- Do not wash the bottom bracket with high-pressure jets of water.
- For maximum performance it is required to remove and periodically inspect/clean your Praxis Works bottom bracket.
- Parts are not guaranteed against natural wear or deterioration resulting from normal use.
- For any questions regarding methods of installation, adjustment, maintenance or operation, please contact a professional bicycle dealer or call Praxis Works.
- Praxis Works assumes no responsibility for damages or injury related to improperly installed components.

BB CUP PREPARATION
NON-DRIVE/LEFT CUP
1 Make sure Width Tolerance O-ring is on Left/Non-Drive Cup. This is required to accommodate frame BB width variances
2 FOR BB30 – Remove PF Sleeve (not used with BB30!). Apply thin coating of anti-seize to both ends of the BB cup contact surfaces and the threads
3 FOR PF30 – Slide PF Sleeve on. Grease both ends of the PF Sleeve contact surfaces. Then put anti-seize on the inner threads
BB30
SETUP
( 42mm D)
- WIDTH TOLERANCE O-RING
- ANTI SEIZE BOTH END AND INNER THREADS
PF30
SETUP
( 46mm D)
- Slide Sleeve on for PF30
- GREASE BOTH ENDS
DRIVE/RIGHT CUP
1 Slide the Black Plastic Sleeve and then the Orange Rubber Collet onto the cup. This is critical to the function of your BB
2 Apply thin coating of anti-seize to the Right/Drive cup threads
3 Apply thin coating of grease to the outside of the Orange Rubber Collet and Black Plastic Sleeve
- ORANGE RUBBER COLLET
- BLACK PLASTIC SLEEVE
- ANTI-SEIZE THREADS
BOTTOM BRACKET INSTALLATION
1 With a press tool, GENTLY press the Left/Non-Drive cup into the frame’s Left/Non-Drive side until Width Tolerance O-ring just BARELY touches the side of frame
- DO NOT COMPRESS WIDTH-TOLERANCE O-RING.
2 Start threading the Right/Drive Cup in CLOCKWISE with your
M30 BB tool.
As it threads in, you will feel friction build as the Orange Rubber Collet
expands inside the frame.
THIS IS NORMAL
Now you must get your second BB tool…
- ANTI SEIZE BOTH END AND INNER THREADS
3 TURN Right/Drive Cup UNTIL IT STOPS.
With 2nd BB tool, hold Left/Non-Drive Cup in place while you tighten Drive cup fully.
The 2nd tool gives you leverage so you feel when the Drive cup bottoms out on the Non-Drive cup.
The Drive Cup has a machined stop and by design it MUST be tightened until it bottoms out on the Non-Drive cup. This precisely sets/stops the Collet expansion.

M30 TOOL #2
TIGHTEN CLOCKWISE
4 See next page for correct Dust Covers for your crank.
Lightly grease underside of Dust Covers and place them over bearings with Praxis logos facing outward.
Now you can install the crank
BOTTOM BRACKET REMOVAL
1 Unscrew the Right/Drive Cup COUNTER-CLOCKWISE and remove. Use one tool to hold the Left side for leverage, and the other to unscrew the Drive cup.
2 Once the Drive Cup is removed, slide a headset cup removal tool through from the drive side and it will catch outside edge of the Non-Drive cup
3 Carefully bracing the tool and frame, very gently hammer/tap the removal tool to push the Non-Drive Cup out of frame
- CUP OUTSIDE EDGE
- We recommend using a 1.5″ cup removal tool (photo) as it has a wide stance.
