Troubleshooting

  • Lightweight design at just 95g
  • Serviceable bearings extend total product life

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This bottom bracket is compatible with 41mm press-fit frames, including BB86.5, BB89.5, and BB92 standards. Installation should always be performed using a dedicated press-fit tool to ensure the cups are seated perfectly square within the shell; hammering the cups into place can damage the bearing alignment or the frame itself. When cleaning your bike, avoid using high-pressure water near the bottom bracket seals to prevent contaminants from entering the bearings. Periodic checks for lateral play in the crankset are recommended to determine if bearing service or replacement is needed.
