HOPE bottom bracket stainless steel bearing Road BSA 68/73 mm
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 formed by bearing shells and a center sleeve made of CNC-milled aluminum. 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. Stainless steel ball bearings, which are manufactured for Hope in Switzerland by bearing specialist INA, rotate in the bearing shells. The ball bearings are double-sealed and are additionally protected by a labyrinth seal.
The bearings are suitable for all cranks with Shimano Hollowtech II and Race Face X-Type Standard. With an additional kit, the bottom bracket is also suitable for SRAM/Truvativ cranks with GXP axle. The kit is available in our store.
