T-Bob Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Has anyone use a set of the adaptors you can get that will allow you to run your standard Shimano / FSA / whatever 24mm cranks in a BB30 frame (most specifically a Cannondale). Just wondering if there is much flex or any issues. I know Rotor and KCNC do a full sleeve and Wheels / FSA do end cups. http://www.fullspeedahead.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/P357-1-EE085.jpg
Nimby Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Used a Wheels Manufacturing adaptor on my Turner - no issues.
T-Bob Posted October 29, 2015 Author Posted October 29, 2015 Used a Wheels Manufacturing adaptor on my Turner - no issues. Thanks for that, did you buy locally or OS?
Spinnekop Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Wheels Manufacturing is a US brand brought in by Omnico. Any bike shop should be able to help.Their bearings are very good! I had some reduction spacers in my old System6. No issues.
Vinnydabutcher Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 @Hellocolour, I used one for about 2 years no issues. I still have it if you would like to make me and offer. Its Wheels MFG for GXP
carbon29er Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Wheels Manufacturing version has a thread that screws into the other side making sure the two bearings line up perfectly and is removeable. SRAM version is much cheaper but is a permanent conversion to your frame turning BB30 into BSA and adding a bit of weight. Don't go for a version that doesn't attach to both sides, a simple reducer in the frame such as shownby OP will work loose on a MTB and will creak sooner than later.
alsoran Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Had adaptor put on my bike recently. No issues so far but only time will tell if there are any.

There are a fair few version out there for sure. To be honest I think I'll head the wheels M' route or the Rotor version and give it ago. Hopefully the LBS will have something so I can get it sorted out this weekend rather then have to order from OS. The Wheels M' version gets a great write up from Bike Radar and others. @Vinny: Thanks for the offer, I'll probably go new to be honest just so I'm certain about them.

Falco Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 I've had the Wheels Manufacturing adapters on my CAAD10 for the last 2 years, done thousands of k's with no issues at all.
raptor-22 Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Praxis also have a Bb30 to 24 mm adaptor bb that threads together in the center. Works very well
