NotSoBigBen Posted January 4, 2023 Share Looking for just the BB30 snaprings (circlips) .... anyone maybe have some lying around? Unfortunately none of my normal suppliers have them, they do obviously have them as a set with the bearings but I already have a new set of bearings! I'm in Alberhoughton so somewhere around would be ideal .... TIA Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnavel Posted January 4, 2023 Share Hi Ben, I stay and work close to those areas and I may have a set lying in my toolbox - will have a look this evening and let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselnDust Posted January 5, 2023 Share Does your BB30 bb shell have a raised lip against which the bearings are pressed or does it have circlips on the inside of each bearing? Edited January 6, 2023 by DieselnDust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyatt Earp Posted January 6, 2023 Share Don’t stress BigBen I will guarantee you that the BB shell only has one recess where the clip sits and the bearing presses against. The rest of the bearing preload will be done with other spacers. NotSoBigBen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, was going to ask why I would be looking for circlips if there was a lip for the bearing to 'stop' against 😕 .... since my life I haven't seen a BB30 with a circlip on both sides of each bearing, maar wat weet ek 😉 Wyatt Earp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselnDust Posted January 6, 2023 Share I have two bikes with BB30. Proper B30 not PF30 or anything else with a 30mm axle that's is soema called bb30 because the axle is 30mm. One frame, an older model uses 2snap rings to act as the bearing stops. The bearing is then pressed in and the seals go on the outside. The next generation BB30 had a step in the BB shell to stop / position the bearing, Hence I always have two spare snap rings when I replace the bearings in that Cannondale frame. If your frame is like the first, then snap rings. if like the 2nd then no snap rings. My post above is confusing (pt on phone gets carried away) PS: You could probably buy those snap rings at any bearing supplier. Its a std snap ring for 42mm bore Edited January 6, 2023 by DieselnDust ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
