Good quality BB90 bearings?

Post by Cugel »

I can find bog-standard Trek-offered BB90 bearings for their Domane frames (of which I have two) and also ridiculously expensive ceramic bearing BB90 offerings .... but nothing in between. Does anyone know of a good quality BB90 bearing set that doesn't cost loadsacash (i.e. more than £50)?

Thanks for any pointers.

Those look good - and can be got in the UK for about £30, happily.

Thanks for your help.

I like angular contact bearings for this application. But be sure to put each bearing in the right way around.

Don't buy 22x37 bearings, unless that is you are running a SRAM crankset.
