Full Speed Ahead Bottom Bracket Adaptor
Best reliable conversion solution for cyclists updating older frame standards.
This adapter is the ultimate bridge for riders who prefer the reliability of threaded bottom brackets over modern press-fit standards. It requires a headset press for installation, but the trade-off is worth it: you gain the freedom to run your favorite cranksets on frames that were never designed to accommodate them.
