These spindles have a diameter of 24mm. Do you have a Shimano crank and do you know which type of bottom bracket shell your frame has? Have a look below to see which bottom bracket bearings you need. The bottom bracket bearings thus consist of a shell, without the actual bearings, that is screwed into the frame. A Power-Torque crankset has a one-piece spindle. On the right crank arm drive side a bearing is pressed onto the crank. The bottom bracket bearings consist of one shell without bearings drive side and one shell with bearings non-drive side.
These cranks can be used with BB30 or PF30 bottom bracket bearings. Especially the Mega Exo cranksets are quite common. Mega Exo 19 mm — FSA also offers cranksets for road bikes and mountain bikes that have a spindle with a diameter of 19 mm. For road bikes, this type is called Omega. The mountain bike version of these cranks is called Comet and V-Drive.
Rotor offers a range of several different cranks. One of them are the 3DF cranks with a spindle diameter of 30mm. These can be used in almost all frames, also with a BSA bottom bracket. The difference in width is filled up by placing a special tube.
This series also uses UBB30 bottom bracket bearings. Another type of Rotor cranks is the 3D crank which has a spindle with 24 mm diameter, the same as Shimano Hollowtech II. The spindle diameter is 30 mm. Coming to a major question: Is it possible to combine the different standards?
But not always. Below you find an overview with the current possibilities with converters and adapters for bottom bracket shells and bearings. This is normal, although it looks unusual at first. Please take into account that a threaded adapter is not without risk. It seems to be a good option at first, but keep in mind that the tube has to be pressed in with loctite. The risk of a threaded adapter is a higher likelihood of creaking, and it can even be a reason for forfeiture of the frame guarantee.
Rotor adapters are currently the best solution for a BB30 conversion. Screwing the two parts together — or, in case of a PressFit 30 bottom bracket shell, pressing them in — is the safest conversion. Rotor has developed bottom bracket bearings for this purpose which can be screwed into the threaded bottom bracket shell so that you can ride with a Rotor BB30 crankset. But take into account that you should only attempt this conversion if you use or want to use a Rotor crankset. Do you still have questions after reading this guide on bottom brackets?
The Mantel customer service is happy to help you with choosing the right bottom bracket bearings, crankset or bottom bracket shell. Best BB review ever. Great stuff. This great article was found through Google Images that the way that I follow to find a great article among good articles as pictures do speak more specially when its related to cycling that lot more engineering stuffs involved. What company makes a completely seal Bb30 bottom bracket size 68mm 42mm 30mm for super six high mid that can be press in.
SRAM do. I have a unkown bike co. Singularity is the frame model bb b1. I need help with it please. Thank you for this great article! This is very helpful in working through the chaos of bottom bracket compatibility. What bottom bracket shell fits the gt idrive four 1. It has to have the threaded hole for the flexbone bolt! What am I missing? The bike stores tell me this is the correct bottom bracket.
I want to ride my bike…. You are reporting that the spindle diameter of FSA Gossamer pre is If it was Something like The best how-to on the topic in the whole world wide web and beyond… even in the physical world or the word of mouth. Well explained. Hi Ollnot a bad job. Birmingham Small Arms bicycle company did not give a name a bb style. Refer to St Sheldon. Also thee was a world before about where bbs were usually not a single cartridge. They were a cup and cone style, adjustable with loose balls.
The best ones were a very high grade. Man, reading what you wrote about your job, i felt like nudging you out and take your place! Of course course this is just wishful thinking. Well, thus is my way if saying i liked your article… And still like your job more! Happy living, man!

Is it possible to use a shimano hollowtech crankset now in the pf30 bearing? If i use adapters. I need a bottom bracket cartridge for a Trek Yes, this article was very helpful to my bottom bracket conversion kit i installed onto my 24 inch kids bicycle and then installed a Shimano FX 11 speed double crank set and it works great with a 11 speed gold cassette in the rear and a 11 speed derailleur installed in the rear and a gold 11 speed chain and a front shift also that works and shifts gears up front, so i have a good running 24 inch old school kids bicycle and it is working great.
Can anyone help me out? Very good article and very much needed! While everyone likes to think their bottom bracket system makes the most sense, it can get pretty confusing as you dive into specifics. We, like many others, like to think that our method for naming bottom brackets brings some simplicity to things.
Our bottom brackets are sized by first listing the outer diameter of the bottom bracket, and secondly the inner diameter, or diameter of the spindle. BSA30 features an English-threaded outer, and 30mm inner. Ya dig? Search Home Mountain Expand menu Collapse menu. Apparel and Accessories. Road Expand menu Collapse menu.
Resources Expand menu Collapse menu. Why 1x13? For a threaded bottom bracket, there are only three common sizes; 68mm, 73mm and 83mm. If your bottom bracket shell measurement isn't very close to one of those, you've probably measured it incorrectly - or something very odd is going on with your frame.
The shell width determines how many spacers you need on each side, but it also depends on which brand you're using. A 68mm or 83mm bottom bracket shell needs two of the 2. If your bottom bracket shell is 73mm wide, you only need one 2.
If you need to use a bottom bracket mounted chain guide or derailleur, then you'll also need to remove the innermost 2. You'll need to use both the provided 2. Much like GXP, you don't need to add any spacers to the bottom bracket if you have a 73mm shell, but you will need to add a 4.
If your bike has Super Boost hub spacing x12mm and a 73mm shell then you'll need a 4. If you're running a chain device with your Super Boost setup then you'll need a 2. You'll also need a 4. Jon was previously the editor here at off. Whether it's big days out on the gravel bike or hurtling down technical singletracks, if it's got two wheels and can be ridden on dirt, then he's into it.
Below we rundown each of the major bottom bracket systems currently available, along with advantages, disadvantages, notes on compatibility, and some input from their proponents on why they exist. No BB shell inner diameter 1.
Other widths may be named according to shell dimensions: Wider overall shell is also claimed to improve bearing support. An older Pressfit 61x46mm BB appears to be obsolete. An older CeramicSpeed now offers a fully integrated bearing akin to T47 that will fit 30mm spindles. Modern, external cup threaded bottom brackets are among the most common of standards.
Square taper bottom brackets also fit in most shells designed for external cup bottom brackets, but to keep things simple, we will only cover the modern standard here. The idea is simple, by moving the bearings outboard of the shell, you can then use a much larger spindle. External bottom brackets for 30mm spindles do exist, such as those from White Industries , allowing modern 30mm-diameter axle cranks to be used.
In fact, companies such as Santa Cruz continue to stand by it despite the plethora of other options now available. The bearing bores are usually round already, with aluminium cups, because it is a machined surface, and if the bearing bores are too tight you can sand them out and get the fit just right for the bearings before you thread them into the frame. You cannot use a facing or cutting tool that I know of in a carbon shell. To make matters even more confusing, there exists a number of other threaded bottom bracket standards.
Trek introduced the proprietary BB90 standard in on the revamped Madone and soon followed with the mountain bike-specific BB Instead of bearing pressed into aluminium cups that were then threaded into the frame, Trek pressed the bearings directly into the frame. Bearing seats were moulded into the carbon frame structure to save weight, and bottom bracket shell width ballooned to 90mm on road bikes and 95mm on mountain bikes, creating more real estate for frame tubes and suspension pivots.
Effectively, the space previously taken up by the bearing cups can now be used as frame real-estate, allowing larger and stiffer tubes to be used. It also provides a simplified installation process. Crankset compatibility is thus unchanged, although you do lose the ability to run chain guides that sandwich between the driveside cup and frame. This system is not without its issues however, with shells becoming oversized due to wear being a relatively common problem leading Trek to release the very slightly oversized V2 bearings to compensate.
Perhaps partly due to these issues, Trek has, in fact, recently abandoned this bottom bracket standard on its Domane endurance road bike platform for , in favour of the T47 threaded standard. It will be interesting to see if this trend carries over to future models in its range.
We can do this without creating our own crank spindle standard because it adheres to the same spindle that a threaded BB uses. None that I can see.
