FSA BB-6000

No, the BB-6000 is specifically designed for older MegaExo cranksets, primarily pre-2014 Gossamer and Energy models. It will not work with newer FSA cranksets that utilize different spindle diameters or interface standards.

Yes, this bottom bracket features a standard BSA English thread, which is the most common threading found on road bike frames. It is designed to screw directly into frames with a 68mm shell width.

The sealed stainless steel bearings are built to resist corrosion and handle the elements better than standard steel options. While they are water-resistant, regular maintenance and cleaning will still help extend their lifespan, especially if you ride frequently in the rain.

You should not use this with non-FSA cranksets. The BB-6000 is engineered with specific dimensional tolerances to match the spindle interface of compatible FSA MegaExo cranks; using it with other brands can lead to play, poor power transfer, and potential damage to the bearings.

The composite center tube acts as a sleeve between the two bearing cups. It protects the spindle from moisture and debris that might enter the frame from the inside, ensuring the bearings continue to rotate smoothly over time.
