Bottom Bracket Wheels Manufacturing

These threaded bottom brackets from Wheels Manufacturing allow MTB and road cranks with 30 mm axles to be fitted into frames with PressFit 30 bottom bracket shells, which have a width of 68–73 mm and a press-fit depth of 46 mm. These bottom brackets are compatible with cranksets featuring a 30 mm axle system, such as Cane Creek eeWings, FSA BB386, Race Face Cinch 30, Rotor 30 and Sram BB386Evo cranksets. These cranksets have longer axles, from 103 mm, than BB30 cranksets. BB30 cranksets cannot be fitted to these bottom brackets. The axle length must be more than 103 mm for 68 mm wide bottom bracket shells and more than 108 mm for 73 mm wide shells.

Unlike other press-fit bottom brackets, the Wheels Threaded Manufacturing bottom bracket cups are screwed together. This has the major advantage that the bottom bracket shell sits very securely and absolutely parallel within the frame. This ensures a long service life for the bottom bracket. The bottom bracket cups are made from high-strength aluminium.

Wheels Enduro 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, reducing friction and wear. The balls in these bearings are manufactured with extreme precision, with a tolerance of just 10/1,000,000 – twice as precise as standard industrial bearings
