2010 Boardman Team Carbon Bottom Bracket

[cloggsy]

I've got a 2010 Boardman Team Carbon and I want to replace/upgrade my chainset. What bottom bracket to I need?

I am aware that it is a BB30, so if someone can point me in the right direction I would be grateful...

Many thanks in anticipation...

You need a BB30 bottom bracket. Simple as that. It is just a pair of press fit cartridge bearings that press into the BB shell until they hit a circlip. You can buy any, I used a SRAM one last time.

You usually get a pair of bearings, a pair of circlips, a couple of rubber seals/caps plus a wavy washer and a few little spacers to preload the bearing (you need to adjust how many of the spacers you use depending on the frame and chainset combination and it is a case of trial and error, there is no absolute way to tell). Some BB30 chainsets don't need the spacers or wavy washer as they have a built in preloading device but this is not that common I don't think.
