I've just bought an X01 crankset which is Bb30 spindle sized.
Anyone out there using these and can recommend a threaded BB?
I've seen a few like nukeproof and the praxis one but they seem to have smaller diameter bearings on one side.
Stupid question I know but never had this BB type.
I've seen the Rotor one which looks good at just over £30 and I know about the hope one, just wondered how others have got on?
Cheers Rob
I've not used that combination but wheels manufacturing have solutions for most bb/crank combos. This one might work?

You're always going to be compromised slightly as the larger diameter BB30 axle means you need smaller bearings to fit into the BSA threaded style bottom brancket
BSA30 is the generally adopted terminology. Wheels Manufacturing are good - the use bigger bearings than for example, a Raceface plus they have an extra external seal.
you sure its not DUB?
i made the mistake of grabbing a BB30 crank thinking it could be used in a BSA frame
i gave up looking for a solution as a standard BSA frame has the bearings sitting outside the frame BB area, and press fit BB generally sits flush? so the crank spindle wouldn't be long enough
It hasn't arrived yet but advertised as BB30
I think it's either down to a hope Bb30 or I've found a Rotor Bb30 for threaded bbs
If it's [url= https://www.sram.com/en/sram/models/fc-x0-1-b1 ]this one[/url] SRAM are listing it as BB30A if that matters, the Boost version does seem to be DUB.
