  1. PF30 frames should have a inner diameter of 46mm The PF30 BB is the same for XCX, TRS and LG1 cranks as well as all legacy models PF30 BBs work with 68mm, 73mm or 83mm wide BB shells
    • PF30 frames should have a inner diameter of 46mm

    • The PF30 BB is the same for XCX, TRS and LG1 cranks as well as all legacy models

    • Start by measuring your BB shell and choosing the correct number of spacers to use between the BB and the frame using the chart

  2. Grease the center threads of the BB Refer to and follow your frame manufacturers specifications regarding the use of grease on the inside of the BB shell. In general we recommend grease, but some carbon frames may not be compatible with it.
