BB86 - Coated Bottom Bracket

CeramicSpeed products are designed with high-performance in mind. They utilize advanced materials, such as ceramic bearings, which significantly reduce friction compared to traditional steel bearings. This means you can enjoy smoother rides and improved efficiency, ultimately enhancing your cycling performance.

To determine compatibility, check the specifications of your bike frame. The BB86 standard is characterized by an 86mm wide bottom bracket shell. If your bike frame has this measurement, it is compatible with BB86 bottom brackets. Additionally, consult your bike's manual or a local bike shop for further assistance.

Pressfit bottom brackets offer a secure fit without the need for threading, which can reduce weight and improve the overall stiffness of the bike frame. This method also allows for easier installation and can enhance the bike's performance by minimizing movement between the bottom bracket and the frame.

Ceramic bearings are lighter and provide lower friction than steel bearings, which can lead to faster speeds and improved efficiency. They are also more resistant to wear and corrosion, making them a durable choice for serious cyclists looking to enhance their bike's performance.

A dust cover acts as a protective barrier, preventing dirt, dust, and moisture from entering the bearings. By keeping contaminants out, it helps extend the life of the bearings and ensures they operate smoothly, which is crucial for maintaining optimal performance during rides.

While some experienced cyclists may feel comfortable installing a bottom bracket themselves, it is often recommended to seek professional help, especially for pressfit installations. Proper installation is crucial for performance and longevity, so visiting a local bike shop can ensure that your CeramicSpeed bottom bracket is installed correctly.
