FAQs

Is this bottom bracket compatible with non-Cannondale frames?

No, it is specifically engineered for Cannondale-AI configurations with an 83mm shell.

Do I need a special tool to install this?

Yes, a standard press-fit bottom bracket installation tool is required.

Can I use this with a standard 24mm spindle crank?

No, this is designed exclusively for SRAM DUB cranksets.

What is the purpose of the 5.5mm spacer?

The spacer is included to ensure correct lateral spacing and chainline for the Cannondale-AI configuration.

Are the bearings serviceable?

The cartridge bearings are sealed units and generally replaced as a whole rather than serviced individually.

Troubleshooting

Creaking sound under load

Ensure the bottom bracket is correctly seated and re-torque the crankset to manufacturer specifications.

Resistance during rotation

Verify that no extra spacers are causing excessive preload on the bearings; adjust based on the DUB manual.

Difficulty pressing in the cups

Confirm the frame shell size is exactly 83mm and that the shell is perfectly round and clean of paint overspray or metal burs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of this bottom bracket requires a professional-grade press-fit tool to ensure the cups are seated squarely into the frame shell. Do not attempt to hammer or force the cups into place, as this can damage the frame or the bearing seals.

  1. Ensure the bottom bracket shell is clean and free of debris.
  2. Apply a light layer of appropriate bicycle grease to the frame shell contact points.
  3. Use the press tool to evenly seat the bottom bracket cups.
  4. Install the provided 5.5mm DUB spacer according to your specific crankset/chainline requirements.

Regular maintenance involves wiping down the crankset area after washes and avoiding high-pressure water sprays directed at the seal junctions to prevent forcing contaminants inside.
