Needed a BB to fit a PF30 frame and my 24mm spindle shimano cranks. Works great and you don’t have to press it in, just screw it tight. Would def recommend.

2 24x33x.5 and 2 1mm plastic spacers included. This is over 2mm less thick than needed. Machining expert Wheels Manufacturing could have included thicker spacers to support 68mm PF30. Instead, additional expense is required. Appropriate aluminum spacers in one or two mm are not available in aluminum and must be ordered elsewhere. WM plastic spacers are overpriced

Easier to install than expected; no creaking noises to date. While probably not officially recommended, I used a woodworking clamp to apply even pressure on the first cup while pressing it into the frame. Be sure to use a recommended grease for the install, not carbon paste!

Great bearing, very smooth,installs easy, R&L thread together so alignment is perfect. Individual bearings are replaceable.

Bought this to replace the PF30 bottom bracket that was installed in my bike so that i could use a Shimano Ultegra crankset. This bottom bracket works like a charm. It was easy to install and the combo of a threaded bottom bracket that is also pressfit allows for no creaking noises when pedaling. Its a little heavier than a normal pressfit bottom bracket, but most of us won't notice the additional 50 grams.

I've got a few thousand miles of mountain biking on this bb now. It has been quiet and durable. I pull the cranks a few times a year and wipe the dust. The cranks spin with much less friction than the cruddy Shimano bb that came with the XT cranks. The key is better bearings and the fact that the left and right sides thread together creating a single unit within the frame. I took one star off since installation was a beast. I could barely get the two sides to thread together. Took lots of attempts and cobbling together a temp. press to get them installed. That bb is never coming out of the frame but I'll just replace the bearings.

2012 Kona Jake the Snake. Originally came with PF30 BB. Almost one year ago did a groupo change and went with Shimano 105 cranks that are 24mm. This BB was super easy to install and definitely fit the 24mm cranks, but no matter what I did I couldn't get these things not to creak. At first it was only under a stressful load. I commute a little under 20 miles a day and have to climb a big hill each way. Slowly the creak got louder and by the end it was creaking under even a nominal load. I decided to go back to a PF30 BB and WM shims. I'll give them three stars as they did what they say they were going to do (fit a PF30BB and fit 24mm cranks) and they never technically failed, but I have a 200 mile tour coming up and didn't trust them not to give out. They should have lasted at least three years in my book under the kind of riding I do (nothing performance but at least 100 miles a week), and shouldn't have creaked as badly as they did. I tried tightening and loosening them as well as adhesives but I just couldn't get them to not creak.

This is my first bottom bracket ever, hesitate at first to buy since I needed some type of convertor for my PF30 bb frame to work with Shimano 6800 crankset. Found this bb at very reasonable price, put it on the frame was easy, crankset fit perfectly. Have tried it out for a couple hundreds miles so far, no creaks, run as quiet as I would like, smooth and looks very good.Here is some sumaries for the part:1. Installed with a little tool needed, drive side cup pressed in by hand (some frames may need press tool as frame manufactures have different specs, mine is Masi), the other cup screws on and use 2 Shimano 16 notch bb tools, one to hold and one for tightening up to specified torque.2. Remember to put bearing seals for each cup, shims are provided in diffferent thickness, use them as needed, mine does not need one.3. Lube is also provided, how convinient!Definitely buy this again for the next bike project.
