Wheels Manufacturing Press Fit 86/92 Bottom Bracket with ABEC 3 Bearings

My 2012 Trek Fuel Ex 8 needed a little tune up after I submerged the bottom bracket getting crazy up in Granite Bay. We got a ton of rain here on the west coast so naturally I had to take up a few chances to get muddy and make some splashes.Fits like a dream in place of my Shimano BB91-41.Super sturdy and pedaling never felt so good. Although the picture shows a orange/red bearing seal, the one I got is blue. No big deal.Comes with spacers (which I forgot to add the first time around, doh!) as well as a nice rubber spacer seal to keep your bearings nice and clean, out of the way of grime.HIGHLY recommended as this bearing upgrade provided me at least 7whp and 8lb-ft tq!

The BB world is a confusing one. I needed to replace a SRAM GXP press fit BB. It is my gravel bike and I wore the bearings out of it. The SRAM GXP BB are plastic cups and they did creak. I hated it. So I did some investigating and found this BB made with aluminum cups. Thought this had to be better. I installed this BB and I am extremely happy. Definitely an upgrade from plastic BB cups. You can lube them on installation. A little creaking at first, but once a rode a little while, they creak went away. Pretty sweet!

Nice bottom bracket, but I do not like it for Sram GXP on my Trek Fuel EX7 - or at least with a GX eagle crankset. I do not like the number or combination of spacers that you have to use to make it properly hold the drive side seal. For that setup I preferred the Sram GXP bottom bracket that is just about 2.5mm wider after installation and comes with a 2.5mm spacer to make everything fit nice and tidy. This may just be an issue with the Trek, not sure.

Love the fact that the bearings are enduro, and smooth. Pressed in and good to go. Long rides show no wear . Love this better than stock PFBB

Press fit BBs suck, but if you have a frame that needs one, this is a reasonably priced alternative to the big boys that works well so far. It wasn't super smooth at first but it has improved with use, but this could be the frame and not the bearings.

Great BB. I replaced an FSA BB that came on my Trek Fuel EX since it was starting to click after less than a year (about 500 miles). I feel like my original BB didn't seal well and splash up got to it. This BB has much better seals and the bearings themselves are easy to service if you have to. It pressed in easily and has already done 100 trouble free miles with my new RaceFace crank set. I'd certainly buy again when this finally wears out, if need be.

Installed in 2015 Giant Trance 2. Definitely a good quality part but tolerances are off. As a couple other reviewers stated, the fit is far too loose. The cups were WAY too easy to press in. This results in a brand new bottom bracket that creaks worse than the old factory Shimano BB because the fit is too loose and it wallers around inside the frame (I assume). Overall I'd probably just recommend buying a cheaper Shimano BB.

Very high quality machined aluminum cups. I highly recommend this BB over SRAM's version, as the SRAM model is made from a flimsy plastic that is designed to be disposable. I would imagine the aluminum cups will last thousands of miles and only require a bearing replacement eventually. I'll update this review after putting this thing through some use.
