    What specific bb30 bottom bracket do I need for my Specialized Carbon Epic Marathon? It died a death at Kielder 100.

    On the specification it says this

    SRAM PF-30, OS press-in bearing, sealed cartridge

    Is that one of these?

    Or do I just need the bearings? Like these?

    Local bike shop is going to fit it (it is more of a roadie shop) but they could not tell me which specific part to order. I only spoke to them over the phone as I did not have time to pop in today.

    I know this is of little help, but BB30s seem like a massive faff and I wish I had not bought a frame with one.

    Out of interest how long did yours last?

    PF30 is the 1st one you linked to, the pressfit cups.

    I bought one of THESE to run a 24mm SLX crank. Not fitted it yet so sorry to be of no help what so ever.

    Thanks pypdjl!

    You out Wednesday night?

    It lasted less than 30 hours riding. Not impressed, hopefully the next one will last a lot longer.

    Yeah hopefully, I seem to be recovered at last!

    Might be worth taking the cranks off to check I’m right…

    pypdjl I’ve ordered it now! 🙁

    Hopefully it will be the right one.
