Know before you buy
This adapter is designed for cranksets with a 22/24mm stepped spindle, which is the standard for SRAM and Truvativ GXP cranksets.
No, this specific adapter is intended for 22/24mm spindles. Shimano cranks use a 24mm straight spindle and require a different adapter.
These adapters typically press into the existing PF30 bearings by hand or with a light tap from a rubber mallet. No specialized bottom bracket press is usually required for the adapters themselves.
While this adapter allows for crank compatibility, it does not inherently fix creaking issues caused by the PF30 shell interface itself. If you are experiencing noise, ensure your bottom bracket bearings are properly serviced or replaced before installing the adapters.
Yes, this adapter is compatible with any standard PF30 bottom bracket shell, regardless of whether your frame is carbon or alloy.
