2 / 5

Easy to install.

- Dieter, 11 June, 2021

Ideal for going from BB30 to a 24mm axle and thus getting rid of the typical creaking. After a few months of use already noticed that the bearings are not really top notch. Next time anyway go for another adapter. ( hence the 2 stars)

Pros & Cons

Easy to install
The typical BB30 creak is gone
Bearings
Automatic translation

5 / 5

Good converter for BB30 to HT2

- Jaimy, 20 July, 2020

Assembly does require the right tools, otherwise this is relatively simple. Bearings turn smoothly. As BB30 is no longer common on road bikes (I have not been able to find a replacement), it is easier to use this converter and fit a 24mm HT2.

Pros & Cons

does not creak (yet)
from bb30 the standard shimano
Runs smoothly
good tools needed
Automatic translation

Best on-line price for this BB.

- Keith, 9 April, 2017

Care is needed to ensure the plastic covers protecting the bearings does not come off when pushing the crank axle through the bottom bracket. I've had to buy two of these BBs, because when fitting the first one a plastic cover came off and when re-fitting it it crumpled. I've taken a cover off the second BB to replace the crumpled one. The low rating is due to the problems with installation. (I've installed many BB and I am a competent mechanic and this has been the first I've had to buy a second BB for spares.) Operationally it's a great BB and runs smooth.

Well-made bottom bracket

- David, 9 June, 2016

Well engineered, straightforward to fit and robust. Tried the KCNC bb prior to this but the flimsy red plastic shims cracked and were rendered useless. The Rotor is a superior product and well recommended if you have a Shimano chainset but a BB30 frameset.

Pros & Cons

Easy to fit with the correct spanner
Good finish
Light weight
Smooth bearings
Well engineered

5 / 5

Pros & Cons

can not get replacement bearing covers

The Best

- Trevor, 30 April, 2016

This has to be the best adapter for bb30 bottom bracket to 24mm no more creaking, had to change bb30's every year, once fitted you can regrease and maintain for a lot longer and cheaper to replace than bb30 when needed, would recommend highly

Pros & Cons

Cheaper to replace
No creaking
Stiff
Non

Superb Adaptor

- MARK, 1 March, 2016

If you need to fit a Shimano Crankset to your BB30 frame, don't mess around - just buy this one - half the price of the praxis works one, and better engineered.

Can't see replacement Bearings Advertised for sale
Would have liked Red Anodised
