Use Park Tool RC-1 Press Fit Retaining Compound for Bicycles instead of Fiber Grip, which was suggested in the video. Better results. https://youtu.be/Z_XGJDKtnSY
The Shimano FC-6700/6703 crankset is a 10-speed crankset that was introduced in 2009. It is made of aluminum alloy and is available in both triple and double configurations. The triple crankset has a 52/39/30 chainring combination, while the double crankset has a 50/34 chainring combination. Both cranksets have a 170mm or 175mm crank arm length.
The Shimano FC-6700/6703 crankset is compatible with BB90 bottom brackets. BB90 bottom brackets are a type of press-fit bottom bracket that uses an oversized spindle to provide a stiffer and more secure connection between the crankset and the frame.
To install a Shimano FC-6700/6703 crankset on a BB90 frame, you will need a BB90 bottom bracket and a crankset tool. The crankset tool is used to press the crankset onto the spindle.
Here are the steps on how to install a Shimano FC-6700/6703 crankset on a BB90 frame:
✅ Remove the old bottom bracket from the frame.
✅ Clean the frame where the bottom bracket will be installed.
✅ Install the new BB90 bottom bracket into the frame.
✅ Apply grease to the crankset spindle.
✅ Use the crankset tool to press the crankset onto the spindle.
✅ Torque the crankset bolts to the specified torque.
Here are some of the benefits of using a BB90 bottom bracket with a Shimano FC-6700/6703 crankset:
✅ Increased stiffness: A BB90 bottom bracket provides a stiffer connection between the crankset and the frame, which can improve power transfer and handling.
✅ Increased durability: A BB90 bottom bracket is more durable than a standard bottom bracket, thanks to its oversized spindle and press-fit design.
✅ Reduced weight: A BB90 bottom bracket is lighter than a standard bottom bracket, which can improve weight savings.
If you are looking for a stiffer, more durable, and lighter bottom bracket for your Shimano FC-6700/6703 crankset, a BB90 bottom bracket is a great option.

My passion for bikes started when my parents opened a shop in the 1980s called Parker Bikes (we were located in Parker, Colorado). My love for cycling has continued since then, in my work and with my hobbies of road cycling and mountain biking. After my parents’ shop closed, I worked for other bike shops (including Lee’s Cyclery in Fort Collins), where I built and sold bikes, fixed and tuned up bikes, and managed inventory.
I love working on bikes and want to share my passion for cycling with others. So, next time you’re talking cycling with someone and wondering how to get started or where to go from here, you can think, “I know a guy!”
