HOPE bottom bracket PF46 stainless steel 24 mm shaft
It is common knowledge that it rains a lot on the "island". The Brits at Hope have set themselves the task of developing a bottom bracket that defies any influence of nature.
The basis is CNC-milled bearing shells and an aluminum center sleeve. O-rings between the center sleeve and the bearing shells prevent water and dirt from entering the inside of the bottom bracket via the frame. The stainless steel bearings are inserted or pressed into the bearing shells. The double-sealed industrial bearings can simply be pressed out of the shells. The industrial bearings run directly on the axle of the crank and therefore guarantee a long service life for the bottom bracket. Hope uses a non-contact sealing washer which rotates with the axle in a slot in the shell to protect the industrial bearings.
