BB30 take-over sounds death knell for threaded bottom brackets
Author: James Huang, technical editor
The BB30 integrated bottom bracket standard will see far wider use in 2009, if the range of bikes using the oversized, press-fit bearing design at Sea Otter is any indication.
At a BB30 presentation, manufacturers such as Cannondale, Kona, Jamis, Titus and Caribou all showed off BB30-compatible bikes while event host FSA displayed no fewer than seven cranksets covering a wide range of uses.
Specialized frames equipped with its house brand integrated cranks are also apparently BB30-compatible even though the company doesn’t officially say so.
