VELO-PERSO.COM GUIDE & COMPATIBILITY FINDER

Find the right bottom bracket for your bike

Select your bike, then the crankset actually fitted. The finder combines the frame bottom bracket standard with the spindle diameter to show compatible bottom brackets.

Road & Gravel • model years 2025–2027 • compatibility updated September 16, 2026
Bikone BSA 68 bottom bracket shown horizontally
BSA 68Threaded: the cups screw into the frame. A very common standard on modern road bikes.
Bikone BB86 bottom bracket shown horizontally
BB86 / PF86.5PressFit: the bottom bracket is pressed into a 41 mm diameter, 86.5 mm wide shell.
Bikone T47 bottom bracket shown horizontally
T47Large-diameter threaded standard: the shell width and exact T47 variant must also be checked.

The key point: do not simply choose “a Shimano bottom bracket” or “a DUB bottom bracket”. You must match the frame + the crank spindle.

1

What is your bike brand?

27 brands are included. Use the search box if needed.

2

Road or Gravel?

The finder only displays bikes matching the selected discipline.

3

Which bike do you have?

Select the model family matching your generation.

No model family matches this search.
Manual identificationWhat is the exact bottom bracket standard of your frame?

Use this option only for bikes that are not listed. Select a standard only if you know it: shell width and diameter matter just as much as the standard name.

Not sure about the standard? Do not order at random: ask Velo-Perso to check your setup.
4

Is the original crankset still fitted?

Simply confirm whether the bike still has its original crankset.

Which crankset is currently fitted?

Select the crankset actually fitted: equipment can vary by bike version or may have been replaced.

Key point: the frame determines the bottom bracket standard; the crankset determines the spindle diameter. Switching from Shimano 24 mm to SRAM DUB / QO 28.99 mm will therefore usually require a different bottom bracket.

PRACTICAL GUIDE

Three checks before buying a bottom bracket

01

Identify the frame standard

BSA, BB86, T47, BBRight, BB386EVO, PF30… The exact bike model and model year help identify the correct frame shell.

02

Identify the spindle

Shimano road and GRX cranksets generally use 24 mm spindles; SRAM DUB and QO use 28.99 mm; many Rotor cranksets use 30 mm.

03

Match the two

The frame determines the outer standard. The crankset determines the inner diameter. This combination determines the correct bottom bracket.

BB86 and PF86.5: what is the difference?

Here, they refer to the same road/gravel shell family: 41 mm internal diameter and approximately 86.5 mm width. The final bottom bracket then depends on the crank spindle.

Are T47, T47A and T47 Wide interchangeable?

No. The thread family is related, but shell width and bearing position differ. The exact variant must be selected.

Do SRAM DUB and QO use the same spindle diameter?

SRAM DUB and the relevant QO cranksets use a 28.99 mm spindle. Wide setups still require the specified spacers.

Why can a setup remain at 4/5 confidence?

Because one critical dimension still needs confirmation. In that case, the finder deliberately blocks automatic product recommendations and asks you to have the setup checked.

My bike is not listed: what should I do?

If you know the exact frame standard, use manual identification. Otherwise, send the exact model, model year and crankset to Velo-Perso before ordering.

I changed my crankset: do I need a different bottom bracket?

Not always, but often if the spindle diameter changes. Moving from Shimano 24 mm to SRAM DUB / QO 28.99 mm generally requires a different bottom bracket.

Compatibility checked on September 16, 2026. For a future model year or a new frame generation, always confirm that the manufacturer has not changed the standard.
