    My BB has started to creak a bit ( noticeable on small chain ring only) I decided I'd watch a few DIY videos on YouTube first but now totally confused. Most videos show the BB having square ends but mine doesn't, It's hollow, so can anyone tell me what type it is and if its serviceable?

    BTW the crankset is a SRAM S150

    That's an external BB, not the square taper ones that you're describing that you saw in the videos.

    Thanks. Looked up a few videos and it looks more straight forward than the ones with squared tapered ends. I'll take the cranks off tomorrow and clean and lube everything. Is copper grease ok to use on the crank spindle and the threads of the BB?

    Copper grease is good.
