This is by far the best tutorial I’ve seen on RUclips! Please BB manufacturers, yes you C-bear, take a lesson from these guys and spend some time by uploading a high quality tutorial! This guy’s voice is amazing and so clear! It was a pleasure listening to him.
External Bottom Bracket Socket, 16x44 pedros.com/products/tools/pedal-crank-and-bottom-bracket/external-bottom-bracket-socket-16x44/ There is a discontinued version too pedros.com/products/tools/pedal-crank-and-bottom-bracket/external-bb-socket/
When using the press tool, there is a tool for BB30 that cames with Cannondales (it´s just a spacer that emulates the bearing, like a mock up) to make sure that the first bearing pressed (in the case, the non-drive side adaptor) is aligned. I didn´t see you using it. Without it, it´s almost impossible to have the bearing/adapter aligned.
Hello. You really need your help. Please tell me the model-article of the carriage you are looking for? I didnt understand on the site. I want to put my shimano Hallotech ll 68-70 in the frame glass T47 width 85.5. Please tell me the model-article of the Praxis carriage?
Great video, want to install this on my cannondale carbon MTB, only thing is im not too sure if the cannondale spider cranks are compatible, on my non drive side it has a big spacer that brings crank out, it is maybe 15mm wide. Would this work??
I purchased a new bike with this installed. I now found that it creaks on a regular basis. Could the bracket have come loose? Should I uninstall and reinstall? Could I just tighten the unit?
this is normal problem with pressfit bb, I would suggest to take it out and clean it and reapply grease to it. It happened to my trek domane and reinstall everything works. Sometimes the creaks happens because of friction between the bearings or cups or sometimes even your spindle. It could also be because of friction between the crank arm with the bb cup. Check if everything is installed correctly. Hope this helps! Good luck
I have a 2016 Specialized Tarmac with PF30 (OSBB converted to BB30/PF30). Do you guys have BB for my bike. I don't want to remove the existing pressed cup because it is glued to the carbon shell. Also I want to keep my FSA 386EVO crankset, Thanks
So do you need a new hollow tech crank set as this places the bearings on the outside of the frame the crank tube must be longer to reach the other sie?
I have a 2015 $pesh Tarmac that I want to run a stages powermeter on. This bike has a OSBB BB30 set with a praxis chain ring and TURN zayante crank. Would this product, plus a new chain ring, a drive side crank arm, and a Stages NDS powermeter be what I need to run this set up?
Will this work on a 2013 diamondback podium 5? I converted from fsa crank to 105 compact but it has been creaking/grumbling and I'm pretty sure it's from the press fit and adapter that was used for the conversion.
Try to clean the threads of the drive side cup and the non-drive side sleeve. Then use a medium strenght thread lock, such as a Loctite 242. Do not use a permanent one (Loctite 277), as it will never come out again. Make sure that the thread lock will get onto clean surfaces - grease will ruin it.
Praxis Works , yes but it does not mention the CAADX. It looks like for 2014 Cannondale made a raised lip. CANNONDALE SuperSix EVO -It is our understanding that this frame comes in 2 versions. A version for mechanical cable routing, and one specifically for Di2 internal wiring. The Conversion BB mounts great in both. *However* if you have the Mechanical version and you’re trying to route Di2 inside, the inside of that frame is different and is closed off to the chainstay. Please call Cannondale. Synapse ’14 w/BB30A - This is a fully custom 73mm ROAD Asymmetrical BB shell. This FRAME is NOT compatible with the Conversion BB. This frame can only run a Cannondale crank
press fit bearings must be pressed in uniformly. the tolerance is less than 0.05 mm . using a mallet will damage either the bearings or the shell and you won't get a proper fit

This is probably the best tutorial I've seen.
just bought one. Looking forward to installing it on my Cannondale with Shimano cranks.
Excellent tutorial, well explained and easy to follow!
This video was a great help when fitting the converter to my frame :) thanks PW!
Good video. Thanks very clear instructions.
what is the tool attached to the yellow Pedro's wrench on the left? 0:23

Does this increase stance width?
Can anybody tell me what the size of the cup removal tool is or where I can get one please?

i was wondering the same thing. did you ever find an answer?

Followed this guide to the letter. The Praxis ConvBB unscrews itself and comes loose after several hard sprints.
Try to clean the threads of the drive side cup and the non-drive side sleeve. Then use a medium strenght thread lock, such as a Loctite 242. Do not use a permanent one (Loctite 277), as it will never come out again.

Good quality; but does not fit a Cannondale CAADX 105 (2014) as there is a raised ridge and the frame is not smooth all the way through.
paul ready We show/state this in the Frame/BB guide on the product page.

+Duke of Wetherill . Because it is a circular lip (around 1cm wide and 4mm high) and by filing it away I would invalidate the warranty.
10 months later, so don't expect a response, but did you find a compatible bb30 adapter/conversion for the 2014 CAADX?
In the end I used the caps from wheels manufacturing. They are still working well.
I’ve always used grease for anti seize
Anti seize has a cooper as component , Grease got to have a teflon in the component otherwise It may corrode, I use a Marine grade grease. Good luck
Super P I’ve been using park tools 1000 never failed me I cycle 18k miles yearly in rainy Kauai 🤙🏼👏🏼🚴🏽♂️
Awsome Good to know .... some grease are not as much resistance to water than others .. !! Cheers !!!! Be safe bud
Is that a Park Tool RT-1 you are using for the removal?
Should be fully threaded so you don't need a press.
+ai van cause' pressfits are dumb
Why do you need a press tool? Why can't you just use the rubber mallet?
press fit bearings must be pressed in uniformly. the tolerance is less than 0.05 mm . using a mallet will damage either the bearings or the shell and you won't get a proper fit
need this ....hate bb30 push fit on my sworks tarmac. poor integrity with frame
Bbinfinite works better, Gary and wess have also been Using r\d wayyyyy longer
