Product Information
Full details
The FSA Gossamer MegaExo Bottom Bracket is designed for road cyclists looking for a reliable, high-performance drivetrain interface that balances durability with smooth operation. Built with oversized cartridge bearings and CNC-machined alloy cups, it provides a stable foundation for 24mm axle cranks; however, users should note it is specifically engineered for 68mm threaded shells, making it unsuitable for press-fit frames.

FAQs
Is this compatible with MTB frames?
No, this specific model is designed for 68mm road frames. Please see the FSA BB92/392Evo for mountain bike specific applications.
Does it come with spacers?
This unit is designed for a standard 68mm shell; additional spacers are typically not required unless specified by your specific crankset installation guide.
Can I use this with a 30mm axle crank?
No, this bottom bracket is specifically designed for 24mm axle cranks.
How often should I service the bearings?
The cartridge bearings are sealed and designed for long-term use. If they become rough, the cups should generally be replaced rather than serviced.
What tool do I need for installation?
You need a standard external bottom bracket wrench compatible with 16-notch cups.
Troubleshooting
Cracking or creaking noise while pedaling
Remove the cups, clean the frame threads, apply fresh high-quality bicycle grease, and reinstall to the correct torque specification.
Crankset has side-to-side play
Verify that the crank arm bolts are torqued correctly and ensure the correct spacers for your specific setup are installed according to the FSA manual.
Stiff rotation of the crank
Check that the bottom bracket cups were not cross-threaded during installation and ensure the bearings have not been contaminated by excessive moisture.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-quality bearing durability

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install this bottom bracket, you will need a standard external bottom bracket tool compatible with the FSA tooth pattern. Always ensure the bottom bracket shell is clean and properly greased before threading in the cups to prevent seizing.
- Compatibility: Compatible with 68mm BSA threaded road frames and 24mm spindle cranksets.
- Installation: Use a torque wrench to tighten cups to manufacturer specifications to avoid damaging the alloy threads.
- Maintenance: Periodically check for any side-to-side play in the crank arms. Since the unit is sealed, avoid using high-pressure water spray near the bearings during bike washes, as this can force debris past the o-rings.
