PF30a is a Cannondale-specific standard for their 73mm wide bottom bracket shells. This CeramicSpeed kit makes it possible to install Shimano and other 24mm diameter thru-axle cranks into a Cannondale frame.
CeramicSpeed Bearings come installed in two cups and are connected through the shell via a spacer tube. There are versions with Standard and Coated Bearings. Both have super round CeramicSpeed Balls and hardened-steel races. The CeramicSpeed Coated have an additional attribute: a 3-micron thick metallic layer over the races. This addition makes the races harder and smoother, lowering drag and increasing life.
In The Box
The unique PF30A shell is 73mm wide, 46mm diameter. These cups and bearings adapt the shell so it is compatible with Shimano, FSA, and others.
0.3-.04 watts of frictional drag is the “cost” of our CeramicSpeed Standard Bearings. That’s a reduction in drag of 75% compared to stock bottom brackets. This is the result of great design: hardened-steel races combined with CeramicSpeed Balls that are 100% smoother and 15% harder than the ceramic competition. They also last longer.
The CeramicSpeed Coated Bearings last even longer and feature even lower drag. Life increases by 60% and drag drops by 50% compared to our CeramicSpeed Standard Bearings.
All Round Grease comes pre-installed in the bearings. It can be replaced for lower drag Race Day Grease, or higher durability Long Life Grease, which adds a bit of drag but stays in when riding through messy conditions.
