Evening all,

I've got a 2012 Boardman XC Pro in need of a new BB, and I fancy using a Wheels Manufacturing one, as I've got one on one of my MTBs, and it has been great.

Problem is, there seem to be about half a dozen different WM BBs which mention BB30 in the title, so I'm confused as to which one I should be ordering?

The standard OEM one is an FSA BB30, but that's all I really know.

If the bike is standard with a BB30 crank fitted (like my 2012 Boardman road bike) then you dont need any of the nice Wheels Manufacturing bits. You just need to buy a pair of new 6806 bearings and press them into the frame. They're dirt cheap - well £3 to £30 each...
