Need a replacement BB30 bottom bracket but which one?
Hi all,
The bottom bracket on my 2012 Kona Jake the Snake is on it's way out and needs replacing, but I'm not sure exactly what I need to replace it with? It's a BB30 and the crankset is SRAM S950 - can I just order any BB30 bottom bracket or do I have to get one that's compatible with the crackset? If so, then what do I need to look for?
My LBS seems to think that compatibility might be an issue.
TIA

The bearings are toast ? replace them with fresh ones of the same and put it back together ..
If you cannot read the bearing number off the seal, measure it for ID/OD and Thickness and cross reference it
with a, not nessisarily bike, bearing supply firm.
