Cannondale PF30A disc BB replacement

sulfate125 · #1 08-20-2018, 10:37 AM

I have a Cannondale Supersix evo disc 2017 with a P30A. The bearings need replacement and I am trying to decide what to do. The rear shifter cable and the rear hydraulic hose come through the Bottom bracket. The OEM PF30 has no connection in the middle, there are two separate parts, so there is no interference with the cable/hose. What should I do here?

I'm not so sure I understand the question. I have a caad12 disc which must have similar cable routing. The cables pass below the spindle in the frame. You can remove the crank/bb without affecting any of the cables.

IIRC, rear derailleur cable goes OVER the spindle on the Evo.

Definitely goes over the top.

To the OP, are you just trying to simply replace the bearings or move to something like the Wheels Mfg BB that has sleeves that thread together?

BBinfinte has a super thorough install guide for their 73mm BB that's going to be specific to only a couple of cranks, but the bit about slipping a cable liner over the cable should resolve any issues where the cable may be interfering with any of the sleeved BBs

I remember a friend bought one of those and it had a goofy BB arrangement, i.e. the spacing was weird.

End result, call Kogel bearings, get a new BB, never worry about it again.

Thanks for the replies. I was mainly concerned with interference from the rear hydraulic line. Was hoping for a suggestion regarding which bottom bracket would work for me. BBinfinite claims theirs will work with any cannondale supersix evo so I may go with that.

Wanting to put in either BBinfinite or wheels threaded BB.

I'm a Wheels mfg fan...have used them on my synapse for years and they're infinitely better than any PF bearing...route the hydraulic cable over the sleeves and the shifting cable under. its a sweet set-up. Wheels used to offer a version with Enduro bearings, but now Enduro buys BB shells from Wheels and inserts their own bearings and sells them under the Enduro brand. Ride and enjoy!
