Originally fabricated by the Birmingham Small Arms company, BSA is the classic English threaded bottom bracket standard found on many road and mountain-bike frames.
Fancy old terminology aside, BSA bottom brackets are commonly referred to today as BSA, ISO, or English threaded bottom brackets and considered to be a standard threaded bottom bracket shell or bottom bracket.
BSA Road BB Design
BSA bottom brackets use a 1.375” (34.92mm) diameter shell and employ a 24 thread-per-inch (tpi) pitch thread.
Frame shell width is 68mm for road bikes and 73 or 68mm for mountain bikes. Riding a mountain bike with a threaded bottom bracket? Click over to our page dedicated to BSA MTB bottom brackets.
WHY Upgrade/Replace Your Bottom Bracket
Even new bikes with new high-end drivetrains can, and usually do, ship with bottom brackets using steel bearings.
Even if perfectly maintained, those steel bearings just won't roll as smoothly or efficiently as our ceramic steel bearings.
Kogel Ceramic Bearings are:
More symmetrical (i.e. round) and built to stricter tolerances than steel bearings
More efficient for power transfer than standard bearings
And, won't deform, flat-spot, crack or get pitted
Beyond the basics of keeping your bottom bracket clean and maintained, perhaps the most important step is ensure your bike's best performance is using a bottom bracket manufactured with high-quality ceramic bearings.
No amount of bearing grease can fix a cheap bottom bracket. It will never ride as efficiently as a ceramic-based bottom bracket. Over time the performance only gets worse becoming, literally, a drag on each pedal stroke.
DRIVETRAIN BLISS
Now imagine riding your bike with ceramic bearing components, feeling the silky smooth 100% power transfer from each pedal stroke to your rear wheel. Your crankset spins almost completely silent with hardly any effort. A feeling lasting for years, not months.
