Pressfit30 shells allow frame builders the opportunity tobuild beefier bottom bracket shells and take advantage of larger 30mm crankspindles. Adding stiffness while dropping weight is always the goal of cycledesign and if you can achieve this while reducing friction, well then you havea recipe for a fast bike. Capitalizing on the industry-leading bearings fromCeramicSpeed comes its PF4630 bottom bracket allowing you to take fulladvantage of the improved power transfer and lightweight design afforded byPF30 paired with the silky smooth spinning of ceramic ball bearings. Enjoy theadded speed at the same effort, or the ability to squirrel away some energysavings until you're ready to launch your big attack with this bottom bracket. Reducing friction not only saves watts, allowing you to ridefaster with less effort, it helps the component last longer. The Danes atCeramicSpeed are downright obsessive in its quest to reduce friction which iswhy it offers bottom brackets for almost every standard on the market. And ifyou loathe friction as much as the crew at CeramicSpeed and want to optimize yourbike to go as fast as it can, upgrade your bike with one of its bottom bracketsand enjoy reduced friction as well as better resistance to contamination andcorrosion. Compared to steel ball bearings, CeramicSpeed's balls resistcorrosion, which is in part responsible for why bearings start to feel grittyas they age as well as causing the bearings to run hotter which reduces thelifespan of the component. CeramicSpeed balls are also much harder thanstandard steel balls. Apply enough pressure to a steel ball and it will crackunder load while under that same load the CeramicSpeed ball won't flinch,maintaining the exact surface finish and roundness which could affect spinningsmoothness. Meanwhile, these non-round and rough ball bearings create increasedfriction and begin to quickly wear down the steel bearing races. CeramicSpeed is able to achiev...
