SHIMANO Bottom Bracket BBR60-68mm English Thread.

Product Information

Cons: Metal-on-metal interfaces can be prone to creaking; requires a separate bearing puller and press for service; requires high manufacturing tolerances; bearing seats can’t easily be faced post-manufacturing; not all BB30 cranks will fit Other notes Matches the wide bearing spacing of a BSA external BB with a large 30mm spindle BB392EVO 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.

Unfortunately, it’s difficult to know upfront which length will be the optimal choice. For all I could try, it still boils down to trial and error. I make sure to always have the entire range of lengths in the shop and am happy to do test-mounting to confirm, starting with the length I expect to be the optimal choice first. In general weight savings are the primary driver of the higher BBs. It would not be reasonable to assume that they are more durable.

This system has a number of different names depending on who you talk to. It is also called PF86, PF92, PF24 (Chris King) and PF41 (Hope). I think it’s more about the simplicity of the manufacturing process,” says Drew Guldalian of Pennsylvania-based custom builder Engin Cycles. “Boring out a [standard] BB30 is not impossible, but in my opinion it’s an unrealistic task from a manufacturer’s standpoint that needs to do something to make money. There are other designs in use that have varying degrees of popularity. One is Truvativ's Power Spline interface. It is a 12-spline spindle proprietary to Truvativ offered as a lower cost alternative to other spline designs. It is essentially a beefed-up square taper spindle with splines instead of tapers.

Instead of bearing pressed into aluminium cups that were then threaded into the frame, Trek pressed the bearings directly into the frame.Crank designs that will fit: BB30, BB386 EVO, standard 24mm external-type, Specialized OSBB, BBRight. Can be adapted to almost any standard with suitable adapters. The International Spline Interface Standard" (PDF). ISIS Drive. March 23, 2001. Archived from the original (PDF) on August 20, 2019 . Retrieved February 13, 2019. Cranksets with 24 mm spindle diameter are not all the same! SRAM and some other manufacturers make spindles that are 24 mm wide at one end, and 22 mm wide on the other, so the correct matching BB needs to be acquired. Pros: Stiffer than BB/PF30, in theory, without impacting other attributes; good crank compatibility, cheaper to manufacture than threaded or BB30

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).Pros: Theoretically the best in terms of frame stiffness; reduced manufacturing costs; generous crankset versatility BB30 shells, however, do require more stringent dimensional tolerances to work well, meaning that they’re more expensive to manufacture. Moreover, with the notable exception of Felt, which uses a carbon tube, BB30 also usually employs an alloy shell insert that has to be bonded or co-moulded into an otherwise carbon frame. Other names PF41 (Hope – refers to BB shell diameter), PF24 (Chris King – refers to spindle diameter)

All the load is on one very small area of the cotter pin and the crank land, the cotter pin deforms plastically under normal use and must therefore be replaced regularly. If this is not done the crank and the spindle wear and must be replaced. The rider will get a warning through a characteristic creak sound that aging pins cause the cranks to make. If the frame has a press-fit BB shell (without threads, threadless), then you need quite expensive, special tools to install and remove/change BBs. If not using such tools (like a bearing press), bicycle frame can be damaged. There are three current Hollowtech II road threaded BB designs (different model numbers of identical designs also exist). Note: crankset for mounting on externally screwed in bearings, with a hollow axle 24 mm in diameter, is compatible whichever manufacturer produces it. So: Race Face X-type, FSA MegaEXO, Truvativ/SRAM Giga X Pipe (GXP), Campagnolo Ultra Torque – they are all compatible with Shimano Hollowtech II standard, so only Hollowtech II will be named in tables and remainder of the post.
