For a completely thorough explanation of bottom brackets and what they look like, please see this great link at the Park Tool website: BOTTOM BRACKET IDENTIFICATION

They do a great job breaking it all down.

30mm Spindle Cranks

For our purposes, what you need to know is that most e*thirteen cranks use 30mm aluminum spindles, and we support the following standards with our own bottom brackets:

  • BSA - 68mm / 73mm / 83mm / 100mm
  • PF30 - AKA Press-fit 30
  • BB30 
  • BB92
  • T47 - essentially a threaded PF30 shell

e*thirteen cranks are likely compatible with other bottom brackets using 30mm bearings, but it may require special spacing to make it work!

24mm Spindle Cranks

A few e*thirteen cranks now also use 24mm steel spindles, found as stock equipment on many fine bicycle brands. e*thirteen makes replacement bottom brackets for all applications of these cranks.
