The first screw ring (3) is fitted on an outside wall in one end region of the tubular element, and includes a threaded portion (3b) for screwing to an inside wall in one end region of the bottom bracket, and tool engaging teeth (10a) provided on an inside wall at an outward end of the first screw ring. The second screw ring (4) is fitted on an outside wall in the other end region of the tubular element, and includes a threaded portion (4a) for screwing to an inside wall in the other end region of the bottom bracket, and tool engaging teeth (11a) provided on an inside wall at an outer end of the second screw ring.
