Cane Creek Hellbender 70 Bottom Bracket

The Hellbender 70 bottom bracket from Cane Creek, featuring 440C stainless steel bearings and threaded cup-to-cup construction, is perfect for equipping your bike with a high-quality bottom bracket. Unlike other press-fit bottom brackets, the cups are screwed together. This has the major advantage that the bottom bracket shell sits very securely and absolutely parallel within the frame. This reliably prevents the annoying creaking and squeaking associated with conventional press-fit bearings. The 440C stainless steel ball bearings and the bolted-together bearing cups guarantee a long service life and smooth pedalling.

BSA threaded bottom bracket shells

The BSA bottom bracket shells have a width of 68–73 mm and a 1.370 × 24 TPI thread, 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 delivery.

30 mm crank axles:

Cranks with a solid 30 mm axle are available from various manufacturers, e.g. the Cane Creek eeWings, FSA BB386EVO, e*thriteen, Race Face Cinch 30, Sram EVO 386, Rotor 30. These crank axles are longer than those of BB30 cranks and can therefore also be fitted to frames with bottom bracket shells 79–92 mm wide.
