How ironic it is that the best solution thus far to persistent creaking in press-fit bottom bracket shells is – drum roll, please – threads!

As the name suggests, Enduro’s new TorqTite PF30 Wide is designed to adapt long-spindle 30mm cranksets (such as BB386EVO, Rotor’s UBB, and some newer SRAM models) into frames that use a narrower PF30 or Specialized OSBB shell.

Enduro will offer the PF30 Wide bottom bracket in black or red anodized finishes, both with angular contact bearings exclusively. The stainless steel version will cost US$199 / £128 / €180 / AU$272 while the ultra-durable (and very smooth running) XD-15 edition will cost US$289.
