Praxis BB M30 MTB Bottom Bracket 73mm for BB30 PF30 OSBB Frames R-Collet

The Praxis Works BB M30 bottom bracket is engineered to deliver exceptional performance and reliability for mountain bike enthusiasts using Praxis M30 cranks. Specifically designed for cranks with stepped 30/28mm axles, this bottom bracket ensures a precise fit and optimal drivetrain efficiency. Its compatibility with multiple frame standards—including BB30, PF30, BB86, BB92, and Specialized’s OSBB—makes it a versatile choice for a wide range of mountain bike setups within the Bikes category.

Utilising Praxis Works’ innovative press-fit design, the BB M30 positions cartridge bearings outboard of the frame, conforming to Shimano™ specifications to enhance both rigidity and durability. This design effectively eliminates common tolerance issues that can compromise bearing alignment and frame integrity in other bottom bracket systems. The unique collet expansion mechanism ensures a secure and precise fit by evenly expanding as the drive cup threads in, while a compressible o-ring on the non-drive side compensates for variations in frame shell width. Together, these features provide a stable, long-lasting interface that supports consistent performance under demanding conditions.
