Description:
Steel spindle version of Taperlock. Forged and machined to give precision 2° taper flats.
Heat-treating and shot peening the surface gives the spindle incredible strength and fatigue life. The steel spindle is backed up by a lifetime warranty. The custom low friction lip seal sits inside the spindle hole of the cup, preventing contaminants from entering the BB shell.
The low friction characteristics of the lip seal allow the spindle to rotate without any resistance. Proprietary anti-vibration threading sealant ensures the cups stay locked in position once they're threaded into the BB shell. As the BB cups are threaded into the BB shell, the taper locks slide over the bearing and butt up against the BB sleeve. As the BB cups are tightened, the taper locks get compressed and press down on the outer bearing race, effectively locating the bearing without any side loading. See the line drawing for details on the taper fit.
Adjustable threading feature allows the rider to fine-tune the spindle positioning for proper chain line and perfect shifting. The adjustable cups allow the Taper Lock bb to fit either a 68-mm or a 73-mm shell. The installation is easy- the cups are compatible with any standard splined BB tool such as a Park BBT-2.
A locking drive side cup is available for riders who use a bb mounted front derailleur or a chain guide (i.e. MRP). Radial stainless steel ball bearings with 90% grease fill are ultra smooth and designed to accommodate heavy loads. Weight: 225g
