Hello,
Many carbon frames have a pressfit bottom bracket, but some manufacturers make carbon frames with T47 BB.
Question : the T47 BB treads are aliminium and the frame is carbon. So at some point, the bottom bracket is glued to the carbon.
Is there any risk that due to the use of 2 different materials (aliminium and carbon), frictions and cracking occur or that this is otherwise unstable?
Kind regards,
Thiebald
Hey Thiebald,
Great question! While it's true that aluminum and carbon are different materials, the risk of cracking or instability due to friction is relatively low. The bottom bracket is typically bonded to the carbon frame using a strong adhesive specifically designed for this purpose. This bonding process ensures a secure and stable connection between the two materials. However, it's always important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations for installation and maintenance to ensure the longevity of your frame and bottom bracket. Hope that helps! Keep spinning!
