BB30 to STD converter recommendations pls

simonjbrooks

I have an SRM that I like to swap between bikes. I have a bike with a BB30. I bought a Token converter but I cannot get it to slide past the splines on the non-drive side. Can people recommend a converter that is really quick to use - especially if anything needs to be put on the chainset. Ideally for my ease the covertor would be completely within the BB. Thanks!

Wheels manufacturing ones are your best bet- they are so easy to fit and will allow a swop between a std and bb30 crank set and no tools needed aside from those to remove crank.

Fit with Loctite 609. May be worth asking your LBS to fit if you don't have a press, just to ensure fit is spot on. I've had one fitted to my CAAD10 for over a year - no problems whatsoever. It's a single piece of metal, not much to go wrong…..

Thanks all for your advice & recommendations. I went for a Wheels manufacturing one in the end.

Be prepared to frequently regrease/replace the bearings if you ride in the wet. Worth drilling a drain hole in the BB shell to let the manky water out also remove the seatpost and hang the bike by the front wheel. The $hit that comes with owning BB30!

I would have gone for the Praxis Works BB30 all-in-one solution instead of the Wheels Manufacturing cups. Some people have experienced issues with the latter.
