Step 1 · Your priority
Two bearing types. One smarter way to upgrade.
The most expensive option is not always the best. Consider the quality of the cups, sealing, compatibility and where you ride.
Steel bearings
Durable, well-engineered bearings at a sensible price. Bikone DCTech offers an upgrade in cup design and protection without requiring ceramic bearings.
Shop steel bottom brackets →
Ceramic bearings
Premium components designed for smooth running. A worthwhile option if low friction and bearing quality are priorities for your build.
Shop ceramic bottom brackets →
Know your bike, but not its bottom bracket standard?
Even a small mismatch in frame standard or spindle diameter means the bottom bracket will not fit. Our finder helps identify the correct option for your setup.
Open the bottom bracket finder →
Step 2 · Your frame standard
Go straight to your frame standard.
BSA and T47 use threaded cups; BB86, BBRight, BB386 and PF30 are press-fit standards. Then confirm your crank spindle diameter (24 mm, SRAM DUB 28.99 mm, 30 mm or GXP) on the product page.

Choose with confidence · Facts over hype
Steel vs ceramic: what really matters.
Seals, cups, lubrication and installation quality matter just as much as bearing-ball material. Here is how to choose the right level without overpaying or compromising.
What to consider Quality steel bearings Quality ceramic bearings Cost More affordable and often the best value for replacements. Higher cost, justified by the overall design and potential efficiency gains. Friction Very good results with appropriate seals and grease. Potentially lower, depending on test conditions and the complete assembly. Wet weather & care Good sealing and lubrication are especially important for demanding use. Effective sealing is still essential; ceramic bearings need maintenance too. Service life Can be excellent when the bearings are properly protected. Cannot be predicted from ball material alone; overall construction matters. Our recommendation For value, reliability and sensible mechanical performance. For premium builds and carefully considered efficiency upgrades. Important: fitting a new steel or ceramic bottom bracket will not automatically fix frame tolerance issues, installation errors or creaking noises.
Before you order
Quick answers to common questions.
For detailed dimensions, spacers and model-specific requirements, use the finder and the product page.
Does a ceramic bottom bracket really save watts?
Lower friction can save power, but the improvement varies between models and is not guaranteed in every use case. Results depend on the bearings compared, grease, seals, preload and the test method.
Does a high-end bike need ceramic bearings?
No. A well-made steel bottom bracket is an excellent match for a high-performance bike. Ceramic bearings are an optional efficiency and finish upgrade, not a requirement.
What is the difference between frame standard and crank spindle?
The frame standard describes the shell (BSA, BB86, T47, etc.). The spindle is part of the crankset: Shimano 24 mm, SRAM DUB 28.99 mm, Rotor 30 mm or GXP 24/22 mm. You must check both, including shell width.
Will a new bottom bracket stop creaking?
Not necessarily. Creaking can come from poor installation, out-of-tolerance frame surfaces, cranksets or other components. Proper diagnosis and suitable assembly compounds can matter more than the choice of steel or ceramic bearings.
BB86, BSA or T47: which standard should I order?
These are different frame standards, not levels of quality. Use our finder to identify your frame. Do not order based only on your crankset brand.
How can I maintain smooth-running bearings?
Avoid pressure-washing bearing seals directly and follow the manufacturer’s service recommendations. Use the specified grease and, during installation, the appropriate assembly compound for press-fit or threaded interfaces.
Do 2026 CyclingCeramic bottom brackets include an installation tool?
Not always. Several CyclingCeramic threaded bottom brackets have been supplied without a fitting tool since January 2026. Check what is included with your model and, if needed, see the compatible CyclingCeramic tool.

Our 2026 powermeters
VELO-PERSO · CYCLING POWER METERS
Track your watts. Keep what already works.
Already running a Shimano crankset? An INPEAK left crank arm may be all you need. Looking for less weight, different gearing or truly independent left/right measurements? Explore the Rotor cranksets.

Three measurement locations: left crank arm, spider and true dual-sided crankset.
AT A GLANCE
Three technologies. Three distinct uses.
The key difference is not just price: it is where the power is measured and how much of your current setup you keep.
01
Left-side measurement
Left × 2 = estimated total power
A straightforward approach for training with your existing Shimano crankset, or a complete Rotor INpower setup.
Browse single-sided options → 02
Total power at the spider
Combined total, no independent leg data
Rotor INspider 2.0 measures total power transferred through the spider, with modular aluminium or carbon cranksets.
Independent left/right power
Each leg measured separately
Rotor 2INpower SL genuinely separates both legs’ contributions for advanced pedalling analysis.
Explore 2INpower SL → Key distinction: “total power” does not mean “independent left/right measurement”. A left-side sensor extrapolates, a spider combines power, and 2INpower SL measures the legs separately.
KEEP YOUR SHIMANO CRANKSET
INPEAK POWERCRANK-E: four ways to add power.
The direct solution when you already like your crankset: a genuine Shimano left crank arm with a rechargeable power meter, leaving the rest of the crankset in place. Single-sided power, ANT+ / Bluetooth, up to 90 hours of claimed runtime.
INPEAK 105 R7100
For an existing Shimano 105 12s road crankset.
View the 105 →
INPEAK Ultegra R8100
Add power without replacing your excellent Ultegra crankset.

INPEAK GRX RX810 / RX820
For compatible Shimano GRX 11s and 12s cranksets.
View the GRX → Before ordering, check the exact crankset reference, crank length and clearance between the sensor module and the left chainstay. Product pages show the available variants.Browse all 4 products on the INPEAK brand page →
UPGRADE THE CRANKSET, NOT JUST THE SENSOR
Rotor: choose your weight, gearing and measurement.
A complete crankset makes sense if you also want a different crank length, spindle, chainrings or measurement architecture. Here are three useful starting points, with detailed specifications on their dedicated product and category pages.
Rotor INpower V3
Single-sided left measurement within a complete Rotor crankset. A sensible choice if you also want to change gearing or rebuild your setup.
View an INpower V3 →All INpower cranksets →
Rotor INspider 2.0
Total power with Vegast, Aldhu or Aldhu Carbon crank arms, depending on configuration. Road, gravel and dedicated MTB variants.
View the INspider 2.0 →All INspider cranksets →
Rotor 2INpower SL
Independent left/right readings, 30 mm spindle and a choice of crank lengths including 155 mm, subject to availability.

GET THE RIGHT PART FIRST TIME
Choose the technology, then confirm compatibility.
1Your current crankset
INPEAK replaces a compatible left crank arm. A complete Rotor crankset may also require a different spindle and bottom bracket.
2The data you need
For FTP and training zones, repeatable left-side power may be sufficient. To measure each leg separately, choose 2INpower SL.
3Frame & gearing
Check crank length, left-chainstay clearance, bottom bracket standard and drivetrain compatibility.

Quick questions before ordering
INPEAK or INspider if I already own a Shimano 105, Ultegra or Dura-Ace crankset?
INPEAK is usually the more rational choice when you simply want power readings on a compatible crankset. INspider requires a compatible Rotor setup and makes more sense if you also want to change the crankset.
Does INspider measure left and right legs independently?
No. The spider measures total transmitted power; it does not independently measure each leg. For independent left/right readings, choose a true dual-sided system such as Rotor 2INpower SL.
Will these meters work with Garmin and Wahoo computers?
The INPEAK and Rotor products shown use ANT+ and/or Bluetooth, depending on the model. Check the protocol supported by your specific head unit and the product specifications before ordering.
