I only use it with PF30/BB30 cranks… never actually used with a Zipp crank. :- )
And those ceramic bearings are absolutely amazing! By far the smoothest bottom bracket I've ever used. The only challenge is that they technically require a special installation tool (which is impossible to find… ), but if you finger tighten the BB then use soft jaw pliers (non marring ), you can tighten down the BB without a problem. Just be careful not to mar the surface (or just deal with a few scratches on it, cosmetic only and doesn't have any impact on the function ). |
