TOKEN NINJA 5 IN 1 THREAD FIT BOTTOM BRACKET

Creak-fixing, high-grade solution to an old problem

When they work, press-fit bottom brackets (BB) are a smart, simple and lightweight way of fitting cranks to your bike. Unfortunately, when they don’t, you can be plagued by a creaky, squeaky heart of a bike that’s di!cult to cure and if you don’t have a professional BB press, fitting a new set of bottom bracket bearings is a job best left to bike shop mechanics because it’s misaligned bearings that will cause issues in the first place. Token says it has come up with the answer with the NINJA BB. The two halves of the NINJA BB thread together, making for a set of perfectly aligned bearings. Token claims this significantly improves sti"ness and solves the noise problem. This modular system has everything you need contained within the box. It includes adaptors to fit into five press-fit options:

BB92, BB30 and PF30 in widths of 41, 42 and 46mm and in spindle diameters to suit various systems. The NINJA also uses high-grade ceramic bearings for frictionfree running and, unlike other bottom bracket options, Token even includes the tool needed for installation and removal. Should you want a more a"ordable option, Token also o"ers bottom bracket-specific models for £50, although these don’t include the BB tool.
