BB30 cup play specialized venge

[oscarplu]

Hi all, I have a 2013 specialized venge, it has developed play in the bb Cup. Just wondered if anyone has any fixes that they could suggest for this. Please see video.

Do you mean play between the bearings and shell or play in the bearings?
Can't see any video.

It's actual play in the part that is fitted within the bike frame of the bike!! The actual bottom bracket of the bike. I can't get the video to upload at the min🤔

Is it squeaking when you rotate pedals ?

 

[oscarplu]

No, just movement in the crank. Brand new bottom bracket, but because the actual cup within the frame is worn, I still have movement. I really don't want to buy a new bike!!

This cup

Did you fit the bracket yourself ?

 

[Cycleops]

If you've got play between the shell and bearings then it looks like a new frame .

The bike shop fitted it, but said the cup in the frame is worn, I have tried another bb and yes, it is worn😕

 

[Cycleops]

Don't despair, just remembered there's are various conversions which you can fit. This is to 24mm which is Shimano I think so you'll need a new crankset:

Check out a site called Hambini, you may see something on one of his BB30 rants they could help , and yes I do mean rant ! He’s a killer !
But no one seems prepared to take him to task on his opinions , he’s an aeronautic design engineer of sorts ,

Brilliant cheers ozboz, I'll check it out👍🏻

Have you got a video? I cannot see it on my device. From the little I see from the photo the frame looks fine to me, do you still need a press to put the bearings in or do they just pop in by hand?

You could probably get away with one of these, https://www.merlincycles.com/token-...ing&utm_campaign=phg-GB&ucpo=64211&source=PHG
