Full details

The Praxis BB30 Bottom Bracket Conversion is an essential upgrade for road cyclists looking to install Shimano Hollowtech II 24mm spindle cranks into BB30 or PF30 bicycle frames. Designed for 68mm shell widths, this system ensures a rigid and creak-free interface by utilizing high-quality Enduro steel bearings and a robust machined aluminum construction. While it offers superior reliability and smooth rotation, users should note that it is strictly limited to 68mm shell frames and requires specific Praxis bottom bracket tools for successful installation.

FAQs

Can I use this for a mountain bike?

Does this work with SRAM cranks?

No, this unit is specifically engineered for Shimano Hollowtech II 24mm spindles.

Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure peak performance, this bottom bracket must be installed into a standard 68mm shell. It is not designed for 73mm mountain bike shells; for those applications, refer to the PR-73-3201R variant.

Installation Requirements:

Ensure the frame shell is clean and free of debris.
Utilize a professional bearing press tool to seat the aluminum cups.
Use two dedicated Praxis bottom bracket tools to tighten the assembly until the internal sleeve is fully engaged.

Care Instructions:

Periodically inspect the external seals for buildup of road grime or grit.
Avoid high-pressure water washing directed at the bearing seals to prevent grease contamination.
