Yes cup od.
I sort of suspect rhe bearing would be something like 62mm +- 1
Looks like it's a 60mm OD bearing, and a 46mm crown race.

I can actually get a cup made for kinda reasonable money if I can come up with a bearing and a crown race to put in it. Only thing I've been able to find so far is an Acros, but shipping from Germany is brutal.

$7250 and comes with 370 hubs...

I'm hoping what we're seeing here is temporary and because of covid supply issues. Same goes for my post about some companies only offering their best frame with one top of the line build kit.

Ordered a shimano XT hollowtech II BB thinking, well, it's 24mm, I have the tool, what could possibly go wrong?


Yep, they changed the standard, new tool required

press-fit doesn't require a new tool :brows:
But then you have to ride...you know...a pressfit BB. :eek:
Seriously, the plastic adapters Shimano include with every BB work great and do not clutter up your toolbox. In contrast to pressfit, you do not have to have a bearing press/puller in the mobile toolbox either and still can fix creaky BBs in the car park. ;)

i've had good luck with the one bike i own that's pressfit. i've also had good luck with crank bros components.

:popcorn:
Same here for CB products, but I don't own anything pressfit unless you count a Spanish BB on a DJ bike.
