Know before you buy
This bottom bracket is specifically designed for frames with a PressFit 30 (PF30) shell. Please verify your frame's bottom bracket standard before purchasing to ensure compatibility.
This unit is compatible with 30mm spindle cranksets. It also supports 24mm Shimano spindles, making it a versatile option if you are upgrading or swapping your drivetrain components.
The Wheels Manufacturing PressFit 30 is engineered for high-quality, smooth rotation and efficient power transfer. Its robust construction is designed to eliminate creaking and provide a more consistent, quiet ride compared to stock components.
Yes, installing a PressFit bottom bracket requires a dedicated press tool to ensure the cups are seated evenly and correctly into the frame shell. We recommend using a professional-grade bearing press to avoid damaging the frame or the bearings.
While built for durability, it is good practice to keep the bottom bracket area clean and free of debris. If you notice any roughness or play in the rotation over time, the bearings may eventually need to be serviced or replaced.
