  • Peoples,

    Opinions on bb30 crank (Sram Rival) on a BSA BBed frame?
    I know of the possibility of bsa30 bottom brackets.
    Any cons? Longetivity?

    Of course the safe route would be to go gxp but the bb30 cranks are a whole bunch lighter and I like the thought.

    The "BB30" cranks which are really 386Evo are fine, they use normal BB30 bearings in cups which screw into a BSC shell just like GXP or HT2 but a bit bigger. True BB30 cranks in a BSC shell should be avoided like the plague.

    AFAIK, SRAM "BB30" cranks except Red Exogram are really 386Evo and use spacers to take up the slack when installed in BB30 or BBRight shells.

  • Cool, many thanks.
    One would still need one of the bsa30 BBS then of course?
    There's cheap ones from China. Avoid or chance it?

  • Following on from BB30 cranks a few posts back

    SRAM Dub 28.99mm cranks?

    Worthwhile compromise of a large diameter axle, Vs decent bearing size and sealing. Or Emperors new clothes again and another pointless "standard"?
