I did the same type of conversion myself. A good idea indeed to not put the crank spindle in direct contact with the bearings. First I ordered two pairs of plastic cups from aliexpress (from different suppliers). I found that they were way too loose on the crank spindle. They were way out of spec. Could not use them, the crank was rocking. Then I thought I would order it from Hambini but his are waaay too expensive. In the end I ordered a pair of bearings from C-bear which come with the cups included. Another cheaper option is to get for example a Katana bb and use the plastic cups from that. I find them to be quite good as well. There might be the need to shave off some plastic from both options, as they are a bit wider than what the token bb accepts.
@projectcycling Жыл бұрын
Yes, buying the caps from aliexpress is a little risky because the tollerances are all over the place. In fact I bought a ztto bottom bracket to test for my sram gxp conversion and it has way better caps eventually. Now I'm using sram red crank so I re-installed the original token bearings without caps cos of the type of adapter.

I owned SRAM PF30 w/ BB30 which has used the same idea. In my case it was Ø30mm plastic cap inside of Ø31mm bearing. As you stated, this design is supposed to decrease the speed of wear of the spindle. However after 12k km the wear was already huge which forced me to buy new cranks and BB. So now I got Token Ninja PF30 w/ BB30 with direct contact to spindle. To this I have more confidence. This plastic cap made me believe of being responsible for such wear. Even tho it's made of hard plastic, it is still a plastic which is able to deform by even few micrometers but that mighr be enough to cause the wear on 10k+ km.
@projectcycling3 жыл бұрын
Don't think so..plastic is way softer than metal and the bearing is harder than the metal used for the spindle
@Bedasek3 жыл бұрын
@@projectcycling But that confirms my theory, right. The softness of the plastic adds a little more play and hence allows the spindle to move up/down "into" the bearing. Sure we are talking in few tenths/hundredths of mm, but still.
@VanDungLe25102 жыл бұрын
@@Bedasek Not really. There's a reason why Hambini (i think Peak Torque too) hates aluminum spindle, as well as why he puts plastic sleeve in his BB. I can't seem to understand your reasoning though. Direct metal to metal contact will always be worst compare to when you have a plastic sleeve inside. Even in this video, you can already see the "gauging" mark left on the crank spindle because of the steel bearing race. If this keeps up, the crank will be deform much more than just a few micromenters.

In my opinion it is so, because that wear was visible after only 3 months of usage and also if the system is properly preloaded don't forget that it's not a single piece but there is a thread in the middle that adds a play. Anyway mine was mainly an experiment because I wanted to use NTN bearings

@@projectcycling it would have been easier for Token to use 25mm bearings as it appears these are more standard. Larger bearings also have some strength/longevity/stiffness advantage.

@@projectcycling When you say wear, did you measure it, or are you just looking at the bit of shiny area? I run a bb90 in a trek Madone and the crank spindle runs right on the bearings. The spindle has a shiny area from the first time apart. I’ve never had a problem with wear there. About 60k miles on that crank total, multiple standard bb bearings, then after regular failures of the non drive side bearing due to water ingress, I went to ssteel angular contact bearings and they have lasted much much longer. Now with those though, they require a higher bearing preload, so maybe because of that they’re always spinning with the crank spindle instead of being frozen still, or seizing from time to time, which is what I think you’re trying to say is happening. I’d disagree with that unless there’s solid proof otherwise that it was happening to you. I think in my present situation it’s due to the AC bearing requiring a much higher preload setting, and keeping the inner race in constant rotation with the spindle.
