Bottom brackets recommendations for Easton EA90 / EC90 cranks
Hi Paceline,
What's the "Ultegra" equivalent of a bottom bracket that will work with Easton EA90 or EC90 SL cranks (30mm spindle). My bike is 68mm BSA. I know I can get the CK Threadfit 30 + conversion kit, but hesitant to splurge on that unless ya'll think it's the only way. Thanks! |

Just to name a few... Rotor, Wheels Mfg, Hope, all have BSA BB30 bottom brackets.

Praxis makes a BSA threaded BB
I have a Rotor that I bought for some Verve Infocranks (se vende!) that didn't work for the intended application. M |

Wheels manufacturing always has my business. They make US made components that are of high quality, readily available, and easily serviceable.

Wheels Manufacturing
Thanks for all the suggestions folks! Ended up going with a Wheels Mfg bottom bracket (BB-BSA30-AC) given oldpotatoe and a few other's recs.

I was about to say Wheels Mfg, but it sounds like you got the hint.

I have an Easton EA90 crank and have been using Easton/RF BSA30 bottom brackets. Because this bike sees lots of bad weather, I pull the BB a couple times per year. My issue is that the notches on the Easton/RF BB’s are so shallow that tool slides off.
Per the suggestions above, it appears Wheels Mfg is the way to go. Questions: 1. Is the angular contact version worth the extra $$$ over the APEC 3? 2. Any recommendation on tool style? I plan to go with either Wheel’s wrench or Abbey’s socket. The socket supports a torque wrench, but the wrench looks like it would resist the temptation to slide off. Thoughts? https://wheelsmfg.com/bb-wrench-48-5mm-44mm.html https://www.abbeybiketools.com/colle...bsa30-16-notch Thanks for any and all advice. |

I have a king bb in a frame with easton ec90 cranks. It still screetch like all other bbs after a seasons use. Pretty lame for the cost imo. I love king hs but wont likely buy another king bb.
I know this is only 1 example and statistically thats ofc nothing but its my experience I also think that bb is something that i like to change out every so often and it kinda hurts to exchange them when they cost like a king. |

Kogel - you'll get free pulley wheels too. Buy it nice or buy it twice.
