£71.99 at CR, but you can get £10 off if you're a new customer (or use a new email 😉 )

Includes chainring, but BBs are separate.

Great cranks, particularly for that price. Real shame they are only available in 30mm spindle.

That's cheaper than used. 175mm only though or I'd be buying right now instead of typing here

You can get a bottom bracket for a standard 68/73 screw in bb shell.

My BB is a pf30 and it really limits me as far as getting decent bottom brackets with a 30'm spindle.

Might look at getting the Aeffects as they are 24mm and give me lots more choice. Really rate the cinch system too.

Surely there must be options from just about everyone in that size? You can even get EBB's that convert it to BSA!

170mm/24mm and I'd be all over these like a tramp on chips

Won't fit mate, the Jeffsy is a PF92, (not the pf30 I said) needs to be internal bearings... So it's Hopes PF 46 (41??) Or similar... Non serviceable so you have to actually push out the cups every time you need to change bearings. Not great.

Unfortunately not mate. The hope bearing is just a bearing with a lip on it.

There is nothing to remove, it's all in one piece. You can pack it with grease but that is all. Once worn out, you have to replace the whole BB. I personally fitted the hope BB to my Jeffsy and can confirm the above.

^^ Not at all mate. BB's are confusing as hell. So many different types then made more complex by the aftermarket ones.lol

Do you have a carbon or alloy Jeffsy Poops? If carbon what do you mean about the cups? There are no cups in the carbon version it’s just bearings that press into the Bb shell. I’m pretty sure! The hope bearings have a flange. It’s a complete crock of crap system due to the lack of actual space for bearings

Well that was quick CRC! Ordered Saturday, arrived today 🙂

Plus it appears to have a bonus BB included. I hadn't ordered one from CRC as I'd seen them cheaper elsewhere, so I'm not sure why CRC have given me one?!
Now to see if I can quickly cancel the order for the other one.

The Aeffects I bought cost more than that! That's a really good price for relatively light (lighter than equivalent Shimano) 7000 series alloy cranks.

Spot on mate. Yeah,a carbon Jeffsy.

When I say "cups" I do indeed mean the all in one Hope bearing with a lip on it.
When it finally gives up the ghost I'll be going 24mm (probably the Aeffect) so I can fit some genuinely serviceable bearings.👍

I'm not going to be pressing new bearings into carbon every time a bearing goes that's for sure!😯
