Cannondale Ceramic Bottom Brackets
Kogel Bearings offers Cannondale ceramic bottom brackets for Shimano, Sram GXP or any 30mm or 24mm diameter crank spindle.
Cannondale are the inventors of the BB30 bottom bracket standard. Over the years they have used PressFit30 in their carbon road and mountain bike frames to reduce the weight. Most recently, most of their frames follow the BB30A or PF30A standard, which is exclusive to Cannondale.
BB30A Explained
BB30A consists of a BB30 bottom bracket shell, with 5mm width added on the non-drive side.
Frame dimensions: 42mm inner diameter, 73mm width, asymmetric.
BB30A is used on the Synapse and CAAD12 frames.
PressFit 30A Explained
The PF30A is similar to the PF30 standard, but the frame BB shell is 5mm wider on the non-drive side.
PressFit30A follows the same principle, but with PF30 dimensions: 46mm inner diameter, 73mm width, asymmetric.
PF30A is used on Cannondale's the SuperSix Evo, Slice and FSi
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.

RIDING ON BORROWED TIME
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.
