1.

What type of bottom bracket will fit my Giant SCR3?

What tools, grease/lube do I need to replace my bottom bracket?

If anyone can provide a link (with pictures) of how to change a bottom bracket that would be much appreciated.

2.

How do I go about adjusting the brake calipers once I've fitted new brake pads?

If anyone can provide a link that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Ps. I think Batman died at the end of Final Crisis in DC. They're planning on replacing Doctor Strange as the Sorceror Supreme - not happy, not happy at all. Bart Allen has returned as Kid Flash in Legion of Superheroes - How cool is that!?!

    Bottom Bracket:

    (I'm assuming it's an external bearing type)

    I don't know what kind of brakes you have so click this:

    and go to the appropriate guide.

    The Park tool site is pretty much the best internet resource for this kind of thing.
