hello,
i have remedy 9.9 full crbon frame , year 2013 and neeb bb bearings so i can use my raceface x-type crankset ( 24 mm spindle ). I need to know if I should use oversized bearings or standard bearings as I dont want to damage the frame. Asking as for now I used some standard bearings. they are not loose , but i was able to press them with very little force so was wondering about the oversized ..
You'll need a Trek Madone BB Kit if you don't already have the seals and tube. The bearings should be a light press fit.
I used a set of Hope BB bearings on my Madone as they were identical in size to the Trek bearing but with a bit better sealing.

You can also use the ceramic hybrid bearing as well.
if the bearings press in by hand then you should really get the oversize bearings from Enduro. if you need to give them a little light assistance, then they're fine and any 6805 bearing would do the job with a top hat spacer.
I have just replaced my ones
got the bearing form -

using the part numbers off of the old ones and fitted using Loctite bearing fit.
I thought the 6805 was a 25mm inside diameter, do you not need a 24mm ID for a Shimano axle?
guys I need to know how to correctly install my raceface atlas crankset. should I follow the shimano diagram setup as provided by Trek ?
If I understand it correctly I should not use the black 2.5mm metal spacer and the wavy washer unless I have GXP cranks, correct?
And when tightening my xtype cranks , shoul I watch the preload or just tighten the 8mm hex as hard as it will allow? I dont want to wreck new bearings..
Not sure if it will help you but my race face next on a Trek Top Fuel is torqued to 50nm on the 8mm hex bolt - no wavy washers fitted, just the seals.

Yes, you need to use a top hat spacer, raceface one will fit from crc.
