Bottom Bracket Wheels Manufacturing

The classic BSA bottom brackets from Wheels Manufacturing allow Sram and Truvative road bike cranksets with a 24/22 mm GXP axle to be fitted to frames with 68 mm wide BSA bottom bracket shells.

Wheels Enduro ABEC5 angular contact ball bearings:

The Wheels Enduro ABEC5 angular contact ball bearings are specially designed for use in hubs and bottom brackets. Whereas in standard radial bearings only 3 or 4 balls are loaded simultaneously, in angular contact ball bearings all balls are loaded evenly. This is why this type of bearing is also known as a full-contact bearing. This distributes the applied force across the entire bearing surface, reducing friction and wear. The balls in these Enduro bearings are manufactured with extreme precision, with a tolerance of just 10/1,000,000 – twice as precise as standard industrial bearings. Fitted with double silicone seals, double lip seals and high-load grease, these bearings guarantee excellent durability.

SRAM GXP axle system:

The SRAM GXP crankset system features different axle diameters. The outer diameter of the axle on the drive side is 24 mm and 22 mm on the left side. GXP-compatible bottom brackets are required for this.

BSA threaded bottom bracket shells

The BSA bottom bracket shells have a width of 68–73 mm and a thread of 1.370 × 24 TPI, with an outer diameter of 33.6–33.9 mm, into which the bearing cups are screwed. Both bearing cups are screwed in the direction of travel. Adjustment to the different shell widths is achieved using the shims included in the scope of delivery.
