Bottom Bracket Replacement - 1995 F1000
- Thread starter rh32
- Start date
There's no reason that a Shimano BB of that vintage should be noisy when new. My guess is that your creaking noise is coming from something else - seatpost, stem, etc. There are lengthy threads on other bike forums about mysterious noises and what eliminated them. I'm guessing that you have one of the Coda cranks. Best way to be sure of getting the right replacement BB is to pull the old one, check the model and measure the spindle length.
Thanks. I'll eliminate some of the less expensive stuff first.
In case anyone else with my (low) knowledge level experiences it, I found this helpful overview on eliminating noises: https://www.jimlangley.net/wrench/keepitquiet.html
Will work through these and report back.

Also - for the bottom bracket, I saw a reference in another forum that a Park CPP-22 and Park BBT-22 work for removal on a 1995 F700. Considering this bike is a 1995 F1000, are my chances good that these tools will work? Figure I'll at least clean everything in the bottom bracket and re-grease it--probably needs it at this age anyway considering it has never been serviced.
Those tools should do the job. Remember that the drive side cup is left hand thread, non drive is right hand. That should be a sealed bearing BB. You won't be able to grease the bearings but grease on the threads and inside the cups may cure your noise if the BB is the source of it.
