Hello all,
I am not familiar with a bottom bracket included w/crankset. Is this something OK and easy to replace once wear and tear or it will be a problem in the future?
Thank you

They are always replaceable. However, PF30 bottom brackets have a reputation for creaking after a few hundred miles. Riding in the wet seems to accelerate the onset of creaking. Shimano Hollowtech 2 bottom bracket cups screw into a normal threaded BSC/ISO shell (or Italian, if you must) and are a little easier to deal with as you only need one tool.
