Eur J Pharm Sci 15(1):1–9. https://doi.org/10.1016/s0928-0987(01)00209-3 Very closely related to Trek’s BB90/BB95 system is the BB86/BB92 standard used by Scott, Giant, Pivot, and many others. Cranksets with 24 mm spindle diameter are not all the same! SRAM and some other manufacturers make spindles that are 24 mm wide at one end, and 22 mm wide on the other, so the correct matching BB needs to be acquired. Other notes Similar asymmetric concept as Cannondale Ai, but the shell is wider BBRight (Press Fit) Specialized uses PF30 for its high-end mountain bike, confusingly also calling it OSBB though it is a different standard to the OSBB standard found on its road bike.

The idea is simple, by moving the bearings outboard of the shell, you can then use a much larger spindle. Currently, 24mm is the accepted norm compared to square-taper’s relatively minuscule 17mm diameter. Because you have aluminium threads and surfaces, you can face the shell with a cutter and make it parallel if it is not. The bearing bores are usually round already, with aluminium cups, because it is a machined surface, and if the bearing bores are too tight you can sand them out and get the fit just right for the bearings before you thread them into the frame. You cannot use a facing or cutting tool that I know of in a carbon shell.” More recently, Cannondale announced a variant of BB30 called BB30A. This uses a shell that’s 5mm wider than the original but it’s an asymmetrical layout that only adds those extra millimetres on the non-driveside. According to Cannondale, this allows for wider bearing spacing and better spindle support (which should improve bearing longevity). And here's where my problem is, I have no idea whether a BB I'm considering will fit the bike or not.

Will my cranks fit my bike?

How companies decide to go about that — and precisely what design features they want — is the real issue, because everyone seems to have their own ideas on how to achieve the same goals (less weight, more stiffness, and lower manufacturing costs).

In terms of both BBs and cranksets, of course. There are so many (in)compatible standards and how not to get confused or get mismatching equipment? Just follow these simple steps:

Why are there so many bottom bracket standards?

Because the crank arms are straighter, we can make them lighter than BB30 ones,” he says. “But because the BB386 EVO spindles are longer than BB30 ones, they aren’t as stiff. Total stiffness is not a measure of crank stiffness alone, though. When you factor in the stiffness gains from a wider shell, the overall stiffness will be highest when BB386 EVO frames meet BB386 EVO cranks.” Note: crankset for mounting on externally screwed in bearings, with a hollow axle 24 mm in diameter, is compatible whichever manufacturer produces it. So: Race Face X-type, FSA MegaEXO, Truvativ/SRAM Giga X Pipe (GXP), Campagnolo Ultra Torque – they are all compatible with Shimano Hollowtech II standard, so only Hollowtech II will be named in tables and remainder of the post. Cons: Heavier than press-fit systems; frame design limited by relatively small-diameter and narrow shell

ISRN Nutr 2013:481651. https://doi.org/10.5402/2013/481651 Crank designs that will fit: Standard 24mm external-type only. A GXP conversion kit is also available BB30 and PF30 cranksets won’t fit frames with different BB shell standard, because their spindle will be too short. Cranksets with 30 mm wide spindles won’t fit into frames with BB86, or BB90 BBs, but with correct BB some can be made to fit into threaded frames.Krysko DV, Garg AD, Kaczmarek A, Krysko O, Agostinis P, Vandenabeele P (2012) Immunogenic cell death and DAMPs in cancer therapy. Nat Rev Cancer 12(12):860–875. https://doi.org/10.1038/nrc3380 For us, there are no disadvantages versus a threaded design or a standard BB30. We are able to have a full carbon shell with no metal bonded into the frame, which makes for a stronger, lighter frame structure. Pros: Same as BB30 but with lower costs, easier assembly, and the potential for additional bearing seals integrated into the cup/bearing assembly
