Hello
Which cranks will suit BSA bottom bracket ?
As I understand correctly 30mm not suit? And 29mm will. Also 24mm will surely fit.
P.s. frame specialized shiv (they sell it with Shimano 24mm and GXP SRAM 29mm cranks)

Pretty much everything should fit (with the correct bottom bracket of course). The notable exception being "true" BB30 cranks, which due to their short spindle will only fit 68 mm wide frames with internal bearings. But pretty much no-one makes those anymore…

The only issue with some frames and BSA30 is that the larger axles doesn't leave an awful lot of room for the cables/hoses.

I bought these recently but haven't installed them yet. Weight is as advertised. Overall finish is good. Clear coat finish on the carbon could probably be a tad better.

If I use these Lexon 28.9mm with BSA BB will be the size of the bearings regular (big) size ? or I'll sacrifice the size bearings?

The bearings are outboard on a BSA BB, not inboard. They're not restricted by the BB shell as to how big they can be.Thejingerr wrote: ↑Wed Aug 14, 2024 4:48 amIf I use these Lexon 28.9mm with BSA BB will be the size of the bearings regular (big) size ? or I'll sacrifice the size bearings?
It's really not a concern, use the Enduro one posted above if you're still worried. I've got several BSA30 bikes and never had any issues and if you hold one cup next to a Shimano BSA one you can see it's bigger.

Please recommend BB for 28.9mm cranks (Enduro pricey, which another better to get?)

If budget is a concern then just get the SRAM oneThejingerr wrote: ↑Wed Aug 14, 2024 7:56 amPlease recommend BB for 28.9mm cranks (Enduro pricey, which another better to get?)
I got the Wheels Manufacturing BSA DUB BB for my SL8. Came with the right spacers and seems to work really well.
Don't forget that if you are fitting the BB yourself you'll need the right tool to thread it into the frame. You'll need to budget for that too.

I'll second that. I've had the SRAM DUB BSA BB on a wet weather bike for a couple of years and it's still running smoothly.CampagYOLO wrote: ↑Wed Aug 14, 2024 9:04 amIf budget is a concern then just get the SRAM oneThejingerr wrote: ↑Wed Aug 14, 2024 7:56 amPlease recommend BB for 28.9mm cranks (Enduro pricey, which another better to get?)

Thanks all for reply!
To not create new theme, ask here.
On a second bike I have PF86 BB (and run it with Shimano 24mm) If I want change it to 28.9mm cranks which BB should be used for PF86 and 28.9 axle?
