2 Square Taper (ISO and JIS) Evolution of a System For years designers have sought to improve cranksets. Bearing type, spindle and arm designs have all changed repeatedly but the bottom bracket shell itself has not differed fundamentally in nearly 100 years. Our familiar 1-3/8 x 24tpi standard is ideal for frames with small diameter tubing but is less than optimal for advanced composites, oversized tubes and large diameter crank spindles. In the late 1990 s, designs like Octalink and ISIS Drive increased the bottom bracket spindle diameter to improve stiffness. Unfortunately, durability was compromised as the bearings were downsized to it the larger spindle. In 2003, larger bearings were mounted outside the bottom bracket shell. These systems, known as Hollowtech II, GXP and MegaExo, did indeed improve reliability. However, the design required a major crank arm rework to accommodate the increased width of the external bearings, widening the BB area and reducing ankle clearance. ISIS Drive External Bearing (Hollowtech II, GXP, MegaExo) BB30 promises an end to this design compromise with an enlarged bottom bracket shell that allows the use of large cartridge bearings and alloy spindles. A quick study of the beneits of BB30 reveals these substantial improvements and explains why BB30 is becoming the big news of 2008.

3 BB 30 is LIGHTER By eliminating the BB cups and using an alloy spindle, the weight of the crank and BB assembly can be reduced by up to 12% BB 30 is NARROWER With the bearings inside the BB shell, the width of the crank at the spindle is reduced, increasing ankle clearance. BB 30 is STIFFER The oversized spindle increases the stiffness of the crankset. New EFBe testing dramatically illustrates these results. BB 30 is MORE DURABLE BB30 bearings are significantly larger than those used in other systems, resulting in longer bearing life.

Limits of Warranty At its sole discretion, FSA agrees to repair or replace products deemed by FSA to be defective as indicated below. FSA reserves the right to replace product with like replacements that may have graphics or finishing different from the original part. If a part defect arises and a valid claim is received within the Warranty Period, at its option, FSA will either (1) repair the defect at no charge, or (2) exchange the product with a product that is new or which is at least functionally equivalent to the original product. FSA may request that you replace defective parts with new or refurbished user-installable parts that FSA provides in fulfillment of its warranty obligation. A replacement product or part, including a user-installable part that has been installed in accordance with instructions provided by FSA, assumes the remaining warranty of the original product or ninety (90) days from the date of replacement or repair, whichever provides longer coverage for you. When a product or part is exchanged, any replacement item becomes property of the customer and the item replaced becomes property of FSA.
