WHY A BOTTOM BRACKET?

The quiet hero of every pedal stroke.

No one asks to admire your bottom bracket at the coffee stop. But a fresh, well-matched setup can make the drivetrain feel better every time you turn the pedals.

Smooth

Good bearings and a sound installation help the cranks spin freely, without the gritty feeling of a worn setup.

Quiet

Creaks can have several causes. When the bottom bracket is the culprit, the correct fit and installation can bring back the hush.

Efficiency

Lower bearing drag can save some of the effort you put into the pedals. The actual wattage difference depends on your current bearings, seals, load, and upkeep.

Confidence

A properly matched bottom bracket connects your frame and crank reliably, so you can focus on the ride ahead.

THE MAD DUCK WAY

Make the fit click.

Bottom brackets are specific to both your frame’s shell and your crank spindle. We’ll check those standards, inspect the source of any noise, and choose the right bearings and installation for your bike. Smooth and quiet beats a guess every time.
