T47 Bottom Bracket: Precision, Performance, and Quiet Ride

When it comes to high-performance bicycles, every component matters—especially the bottom bracket. That’s why we partnered with Chris King Precision Components to develop the T47 bottom bracket standard, a solution designed to elevate ride quality, precision, and durability.

Why the T47 Matters

In recent years, press fit bottom brackets became popular for their large shell sizes and lightweight construction. However, many riders and builders noticed drawbacks: creaking, noise, and imprecise alignment were common complaints. These issues can compromise both frame stiffness and long-term performance.

The T47 was engineered to solve these problems. By combining the stiffness advantages of larger bottom bracket shells with the precision and reliability of threaded systems, the T47 delivers:

• Improved frame stiffness for a more responsive ride

• Quiet operation—no more creaks or annoying noise

• Precise alignment for optimal drivetrain performance

• Compatibility with high-end bearings and cranksets

The Collaboration Behind T47

Working with Chris King Precision Components, we focused on engineering a standard that meets the demands of serious cyclists while avoiding the pitfalls of press-fit systems. The result is a threaded system that doesn’t sacrifice the benefits of a larger shell, making it ideal for both road and gravel applications.

T47 vs. Press Fit: What Sets It Apart

Unlike traditional press fit systems, the T47 threads directly into the frame, ensuring perfect alignment and reducing the chance of creaks or long-term wear. Riders can enjoy the stiffness of a large bottom bracket shell while benefiting from precision engineering and durability—hallmarks of a truly premium bicycle component.

Experience the Difference

For riders seeking a smooth, quiet, and powerful pedaling experience, the T47 is a game-changer. By combining the best aspects of both threaded and press fit designs, it sets a new standard for high-performance bicycles.
