Questions & answers

Common questions

Will this bottom bracket fit FSA MegaExo cranksets?

This bottom bracket fits FSA MegaExo spindles only if they are 24.00mm in diameter. If your FSA spindle measures 24.07mm, this bottom bracket will not fit without swapping bearings to the FSA 24.07x37 ceramic hybrid bearings.

Does this bottom bracket eliminate creaking?

Yes, the threaded cup design stabilizes the bottom bracket in the frame, preventing creaking and providing smoother operation.

What tools are recommended for installation?

Wheels Manufacturing recommends using their Double End BB Wrench (48.5mm / 44mm), Bottom Bracket Socket, or Bottom Bracket Press kits for installation.
