Title: Value Ceramic Bottom Bracket BB90
Post by: Wildh24 on February 10, 2024, 04:55:32 PM

Anyone got a good recommendation for a pressfit bottom bracket? 

Looking at bbinifinite and boka, but they seem wildly expensive.

Anyone try tripeak?

Yes I agree. The threaded shell designs are superior it seems. Simple install and I think less issues with breaking and possible poor fit. BB90 is a trek BB standard that only uses a 37mm shell so not many of these options available. I think Token makes one, but that may be it ...

I like the ZTTO ones, i wouldn't go for ceramic, the lifespan on them is shite unless you ride on beautiful tarmac and never in the rain or dirt.

Tripeak is a Taiwanese company, generally speaking the products they made are great just like FSA and Token.
Better to get a steel one, ceramic is not worth it, unless you race.

Even if you race, ceramic bearings are completely pointless when the large majority of drag comes from the seals
