Best selling Bottom brackets
Here's a ranking of the best products in this category. To give you a quick overview, we've also added some key information about the products.
1. Shimano Ultegra SM-BBR60
If there were a gold standard for bottom brackets, it would look like the SM-BBR60. It is easy to install, and its screwed construction ensures that the ball bearings are perfectly aligned. Additionally, this design reliably eliminates fitting issues caused by excessive manufacturing tolerances, which can occur with press-fit bottom brackets. As a result, the BBR60 does not creak, is compatible with a long list of cranks featuring a 24-millimeter axle, and is not even expensive.
It's no wonder that Shimano's Hollowtech II standard has been in use for what feels like forever. If you are looking for a practically maintenance-free, coordinated bottom bracket-crank system, you cannot overlook Hollowtech II and this bottom bracket.
Hollowtech II refers to a coordinated system of crank and bottom bracket. The cranks with this standard consist of two parts. The right arm is firmly connected to a steel axle with a diameter of 24 millimeters. The crank arms are made of hollow-forged aluminum, which does not result in any weight disadvantage even in the era of highly developed carbon technology. The bottom bracket is matched to the cranks and axles and includes ball bearings with precision seals. This way, no energy is wasted, and you can enjoy your bottom bracket for a long time.
2. Sram Dub Bsa Mtb
The new SRAM bottom bracket series DUB has a simple task: to connect the crank arms together and ensure durable power transmission into the drive. For this purpose, we have designed the DUB crankshaft, a single oversized shaft that works with all bottom bracket standards. It offers better crank compatibility, enhanced protection from the elements, and long-lasting performance—more stable, smoother, and simpler.

4. Sram GXP Team
The GXP system does not rely on lateral pressure to adjust the bearing play like other systems do; instead, the left bearing is clamped between the bottom bracket axle and the left crank arm. This keeps the right bearing axially free to move on the bottom bracket axle, preventing premature bearing wear.
5. Sram DUB Pressfit Road bottom bracket
The Sram DUB bottom bracket has an internal diameter of 28.99 mm and is only compatible with DUB axles.
Details:
- Material: Aluminum/Steel
- Internal frame diameter: 41 mm
- Weight: 71 g
If your bike creaks when you press hard on the pedals, or if the movement of the crankset has lost its fluidity or developed some play, it may be time to change your bottom bracket. Like all parts of your bike, the bottom bracket and its bearings are subject to wear.
Replacing it is a straightforward operation if properly prepared. However, the variety of standards for bearings, bottom brackets, and frames can be confusing. It is essential to identify which crankset you want to fit into which frame.
Specifications:
- Box width: 86.5 mm
- Case standard: PressFit DUB
- Internal case diameter: 41 mm
- Bearing quality: Steel
- Bottom bracket axle: 28.99 mm
- Crankset standard: Sram DUB.
