Cannondale Flash 29er BB Width

[jatho]

Anyone know if the BB width on a Cannondale Flash Carbon is 68mm or 73mm? I don't have my bike with me so cant measure and Google search comes back with conflicting reports.

bb30 is a standard, all the same, search for that..

Now that was helpful! I know its a BB30 Bottom Bracket, that doesn't mean the BB shell is a fixed width, it will be either 68mm or 73mm I'm trying to work out which it is.

Difficult to measure with the crank on, but I get 73mm. This is for the Flash Alloy though, pretty sure the carbon is the same.

Thanks, even though this is the "standard" some manufacturers from what I understand deviate from the 73mm standard so I just wanted to make sure.

Measured mine the other day to check if a certain Q factor would work. And it's

[Meentb]

Sorry. 73mm

[jatho]

Sorry. 73mm

 

Thanks, looks like its confirmed at 73mm then.

 

The Q-Factor I know needs to be 168 but 164 also works.
