Hi,

I know it's a hard question to answer but how often do folks change their pressfit BB cups 86.5mm or generally how long do they last?

My other question is would it be worth it buying the correct tools to the jobs myself or should I just leave it to the LBS.

Any advice would be appreciated.

    i ve got Shimano PF on a carbon mtb and find it lasts for ages, say 18months, i bought the park tools tool, its about £30 so pays for its self within one swop out.
    i lubed the plastic cup/bb interface with silicon grease as it stopped it creaking, buy it from a plumber suppliers v cheap that way.
