Does anyone know if I can run 30mm axle Raceface cranks on a 2017 Whyte G160 which has a standard threaded bottom bracket?
There are a few 30mm Threaded BBs which should work. I've got some 30mm E13s which I had running on a 30mm Hope BB. Pretty sure one of the other (very few) BB options was Race Face 🙂
Doesn’t a 30mm axle through a threaded bb often mean small bearings in there that don’t last that long?
Although Sram’s new Dub system has nearly as big an axle through the same thing and seems reliable so far....
That 1.01mm though...
The bearings run out side of the frame, like a hg24 bb so they arnt smaller. Yes they'll fit a standard threaded bb shell.
Ive been using the raceface bb on my bikes for years with no issues, quality seems about the same as shimano bbs.
