Riders with a T47 frame running a SRAM or Truvativ GXP crank who want a durable, serviceable threaded bottom bracket.
T47 gives modern frames the reliability of a threaded bottom bracket with room for bigger shells. This Wheels Manufacturing unit threads straight into a T47 shell with machined aluminium cups and outboard angular contact bearings, set up for SRAM GXP 24/22 mm cranks.
An included sleeve fits between the cups to keep dirt out and stop internal cables and hoses from rubbing on the crank spindle, a handy detail on bikes with internal routing.
Like BSA, the drive-side cup is left-hand thread and the non-drive cup is right-hand. The bearings are easy to service or replace, so it is a bottom bracket you can keep running for years.

Great for
Maybe not for
For T47 shells with outboard bearings, typically 68 to 100 mm wide, and SRAM GXP 24/22 mm spindles.
Grease or anti-seize
Use a quality grease on the threads for steel or aluminium frames, and an anti-seize suited to titanium on ti frames. Mind the reverse thread on the drive side. We can fit it and set your crank preload in the workshop.
