Since I don't have the tools yet, a bike shop installed the new BB, and it seems there's a stiff spot with each turn of the crank (both directions), is this normal or have they messed up the installation?
It's not normal.
Go back to the shop. Did the bottom bracket turn sweetly before it went in the bike?
