Review on Truvativ BB30 Ceramic Internal Bottom Bracket: Exceptional Performance at Its Core by John Salleh

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not ceramic but good

I would give 5 stars if they corrected the name. I bought these bearings knowing they weren't ceramic so I'm happy with the purchase. The nice thing is that they come with washers and small parts that you need and the price is fair. My old bearings used a lot longer than they should and sounded crisp, but the new ones are quiet and spin smoothly. I've never had a problem with the squeaky BB30 bearings I've used in the past and these bearings are no different. If you hear a creaking noise, your bottom brace was probably not manufactured to specifications. Unfortunately, this is more common than you might think. I've only driven it about 2,000 miles so far, but I expect many more trouble-free miles to come. I will update the review if anything goes wrong.
