The Bottom Bracket YOU NEVER HEARD OF

[@GCPerformance18]

Really nice to see another quality bottom bracket in the space and to offer solutions for customer out there with issue with there frames, they seem to be more affordable then there competition at the same time having a nice bb shell quality. Like I mentioned before people always want to know if it is good quality but right now you have the literal best rider in the world putting it through its paces so I dont think anyone can question there quality up front. Anyways I hope to have a follow up when I can get some more miles on the bike and I plan to let some friends use the other bb so we should have a nice sample size out there for the follow up

[@elbatch]

Any machinist can get a part to very tight tolerances with enough time (=enough money). That doesn't mean any machinist can get mass produced parts to be at the same tolerances. Of course pogi's bb will run smoothly, I wouldn't say it's a valid argument for consumers. You know it's just marketing and I don't like that you're considering it as an advantage of the product. Those bbs might be very good, Pogi advertising the brand just doesn't mean anything in terms of quality for consumers. If we want to stop the marketing bullshit we need to recognize it here too but I guess it doesn't run your business. Keep safe with the hurricane coming

[@fabianmolyneux2308]

Thanks. Looks a great BB. When Pog is winning and by such huge time gaps over such great rivals and just seeming so unbeatable, you gotta wonder what this super athlete keeps in his arsenal. Good to know you and your family are relatively out of harm’s way with Milton approaching. Back here in Australia, seeing the devastation of these hurricanes is mind boggling.

[@TheMachoGabacho]

Speaking of that misaligned Pinarello frame - I used to do custom work on motorcycles, and it’s standard practice to build up the bike as much as possible, correct any fitment issues, then tear it down and have custom paints and coatings applied. A Pinarello costs almost as much as a motorcycle and I’d pre-assemble it before having it painted. I watch a lot of custom bicycle builds on KZbin and I’m always nervous when I see brand new parts being unpackaged and put on a custom painted frame.

[@mowgliepfeiffer8993]

Installed exactly the same bb to my SL8. It replaced a bbinfinit which usually is my choice of bb. The new one is definitely a peace of art in the beautiful blue and works flawlessly.

Hi. I'm a programmer and machinist. What you're looking at there is a pretty, anodized bearing holder that happens to be holding an off the shelf bearing and an extra seal. The only company that has made a leap forward is Enduro with their Max Hit bb and headsets. By integrating the cups and bearing as a single unit, the balls become much larger. The only downside is that Enduro bearings aren't all that great.

That is not pogacar's bottom bracket like the caption states. The model in this video is a cheaper model from the same company and not at all the same.

Angular alignment is dependent on the frame, not the bottom bracket, unless it's a one-piece bottom bracket.

[@andersnyberg4034]

@@yonglingng5640 You don't seem to get it, do you? Enabling these things to happen isn't something that customers want. This is just a big marketing video sadly. Instead of giving customers good things, we get bad parts. A good BB shouldn't be bent and enable wear on axle.

[@GCPerformance18]

these bb are meant to help fix bad alignment they are made perfect through and also the frame fixers are meant to help realign a bad bottom bracket.... instead of just using a stock bottom bracket to continue wear on frame and also wear on spindel

[@andersnyberg4034]

@@GCPerformance18 These will not fix the wear on the spindle. That's the problem with this product. I thought you were a bike mechanic? These are terrible and will damage the axle on your precious crank because they allow they "take out" the bad tolerances on the frame. You are just moving the problem, but still exist. Wouldn't put my two $1200 in a BB like that. One-piece is the way.

[@GCPerformance18]

@@andersnyberg4034if the frame was that mis aligned then the bottom bracket would pair into each other. That’s the whole point. These are machined.

Currently they only have t47 internal. But they are working on a t47a(factor, cervelo). Which is external on one side and internal on the other 😅

[@yonglingng5640]

​@@Eirikkinserdal I know of a better version, BBInfinite's. Their T47I, is also a T47A, due to their one-piece design that still allows the non-drive side sleeve to slide in deeper for T47A. It's practically a 2-in-1 T47 BB.

[@chrisyoung8062]

If you replace a press fit BB with a thread together press fit, does that change your Q factor? Obviously you need to have something to put a tool on to tighten the two halves together.

[@yonglingng5640]

In all cases I've encountered, no. Even a bottom bracket on a wide-format standard like BB86 and BB386 EVO still has a little room for notches for tools to interact with, just that the flanges are thinner to grab hold of, but still not impossible. This is where tool tolerances need to be tight to have little to no slop, preferably without chamfers too.

[@GCPerformance18]

no because of the crank spindle is the same length you just encounter different spacers being used

They still fit. Treks should have no problems being fitted with any T47I bottom bracket since the 1 mm narrower width doesn't matter that much. If anything, a 1 mm crankset washer can be added if need be. They did this so that something like Praxis Works' T47I have slightly thicker flanges for better tool engagement.
