This bottom bracket is equipped with a forged hollow chromoly (CrMo) steel axle, providing riders with a superior strength to weight ratio. Coming kitted out with MegaQuad technology, this model benefits from a deep-groove design, improved external water seals and sealed cartridge bearings.
Features: External bottom bracket designed for threaded bottom brackets Custom Swiss made bearings are double sealed which gives a much greater life span than stock units Free running labyrinth seal protects bearings and has less drag
This bottom bracket is equipped with a strong aluminium construction, which makes it tough and durable as you clock up the miles on your road bike or explore countryside backroads on your gravel bike. Compatible with 30mm spindle cranks and frames with BSA 68mm threaded bottom bracket shells, this model includes a bottom bracket, spacers, sticker and user manual for straightforward installation. Thanks to its sealed bearings, it provides long-lasting performance with extra protection, making it a dependable choice of upgrade for road or gravel riding disciplines. Manufacturer's Part Number: E13BB2002 Black 68mm 30mm
The Bottom bracket is a key component to every chainset. Smoothness movement is critical, yet must be balanced by enough sealing technology to sustain a reasonable lifetime of use. FSA MegaExo bottom brackets are the result of years of development, and feature exclusive innovations to guarantee the best balance of efficiency and durability. FSA use the state-of-the-art materials like Silicon Nitride formed ceramic ball bearins, or highly polished chrome steel ball bearings, depending of the level of the bottom bracket.
Also included are fully anodised aluminium spacers, outer caps, and spindle sleeve, which ensure excellent shock absorbing capabilities and great looks.

Creak-Free Bottom Bracket The bearings are held in place by an alloy cup, but in order to keep the BB and frame quiet and creak-free, they are housed in a plastic/nylon shell. Finding the right mix of plastic and nylon has allowed us to precisely manufacture these BBs so they won’t deform over time or when they get wet. It also allows the BB to fit in frames that aren’t perfectly aligned. Our bearings inside our PF30 BBs are precisely manufactured to spin smoothly, and when combined with our special seals, repel the elements. The seal is made from a mix of rubber and alloy to provide double protection for the bearings. And, we hand assemble these bottom brackets to ensure none of this development and precision is wasted. Ceramic Bearings With our ceramic bearing option, friction is reduced meaning less energy is required to turn the cranks, they're also more durable, and don’t rust so they'll require less maintenance. If you're a rider seeking out every possible advantage over the competition, the ceramic option can help take your performance to the next level.

Our bearings are highly polished so they spin smoother for longer, while the seals protect the bearings and races from dirt and debris that try to make their way in.
Water Repellent To make our BB86 Bottom Bracket even more durable, we've used special seals, which keep moisture out while keeping drag to a minimum. A tube is also included to further enhance water repellence. Our bottom brackets are hand-assembled, so we can ensure that all our BBs are finished to perfection to keep your bike riding smoother for longer.

Low Friction Bottom Bracket Designed so that the bearings rest on the axle of the crank, these BBs provide a straight load to the bearings, which means your BB will last longer. This also allows us to make the Prime Threaded BB with tighter tolerances, so it runs smoother with less friction. This means you'll require less effort to make it up that hill or sprint for the line. To keep our Threaded BB running smoother for longer, we use special seals that keep water out of the bearings. We use multiple smaller seals, which reduces friction and provides a better barrier against moisture and dirt. Our bearings themselves are manufactured to precision and packed with slick, waterproof grease.
