I'd rather have a bearing that same size that still presses into cups. Happy to have a different, cheap stamped tool to install/remove that bottom bracket.

as long as you limit yourself to using 24mm cranks then you can. this design is specific to oversized crank axles 28 to 30 mm. if you're using oversized cranks then the rear of the crank spider in most cases will limit the outer size of the bearing cup for externally mounted BB's.

[@tomalbert3299]

@veganpotterthevegan absolutely! Trashing the whole bb instead of just replacing the bearing is stupid, especially at this price point.

[@veganpotterthevegan]

@TheBassallyear100 Rotor makes the only modern 30mm spindled crank that I think would possibly rub. Most have plenty of clearance. Different story with the rare human still running a double on their mountain bike but that's not really worth considering for an expensive, niche bottom bracket

[@mhoulmont]

To all of you stating you'd rather have something with removable bearings at this price. Or that it's wasteful because you have to trash the whole unit. The Maxhit line has a lifetime warranty. No need to replace it so long as you do some periodic maintenance👍

[@johnlesoudeur3653]

Is this an advert for Enduro?

[@Chungleas]

So, I can't replace the bearings, like I can with a Hope? And the price? (Vs Shimano or GXP) Is presumably much higher
Stock HT2 aren't bad TBH as noted already, 30mm BB spindles are the enemy of longevity. Expensive bearings to fix a problem created by someone at SRAM's poor design choice aren't all that appealing to me...

[@deanf2259]

I agree on you with SRAM but are they likely to change. The reason SRAM use the large DUB is two fold. It satisfies bike buyers miss place obsession with light and stiffer is bettter even when most are unfit and over weight. Also Shimano have patent on the 24mm diameter axle. Which is steel and not alloy like DUB or BB30 and would be too heavy in steel.
