Bottom Bracket - cost to replace

4545lkjo454

I'm getting a clicking noise when I'm peddling, very similar to the video below.

From searching it would appear the Bottom Bracket is going.

How much would a bike shop cost to replace this?

It's a raleigh city bike about 12 -15 years old.

At a guess around €30 or so...

Just my twopence worth. I have a brand new bike and it quickly developed a 'click' from (what I thought was) the bottom bracket. I removed the BB, and found nothing wrong. Turned out to be a pedal bearing (which was not new). So if you are getting a click, and it is 'one per revolution' of the pedal, and gets worse when you put pressure on the pedal(s), just make sure it's not a pedal problem.

Price of BB + 25euro labour would be my guess.

If its one of the old style loose bearing BBs, I'd say 35 euros in total.

Changing a BB isn't too big of a job.

It is if the old one doesn't want to come out!!

I've yet to have the pleasure of a stuck BB. I'm sure the day will come!
