Assure the frame’s bottom bracket shell threads are clean and undamaged; there
should be no paint or dirt present. Have your bottom bracket shell chased and
faced by a professional bicycle mechanic for best results. Make sure the threads of your
GXP bottom bracket match the threads in the bottom bracket shell of your frame, IT for
Italian threading (etched on the bottom bracket cup), BSA for standard threading, or TD
for tandem captain.

Apply grease to the bottom bracket as illustrated. Refer to the Compatibility chart
for spacer configuration. The bearing seals should be pressed into the bottom
bracket cups so that the outer lip seats firmly into the bottom bracket cup groove.
