The bearing assembly uses steel cartridge bearings sealed against contamination. SRAM positions the bearings outboard of the shell, which increases the effective spindle support width and reduces flex under load. The aluminum cups thread directly into the frame's T47 shell with a standard right-side reverse thread and left-side normal thread orientation.

Compatibility spans SRAM's DUB crankset lineup, which includes Force, Rival, Apex, and Red AXS road groups along with their gravel and mountain options. The bottom bracket ships with the spacers needed for a 68mm shell width, which covers the majority of T47 road and gravel frames. Frames with wider shells may require different spacer configurations.

T47 adoption continues growing among frame builders who want threaded reliability without sacrificing the stiffness benefits of oversized bottom bracket shells. If your frame came with T47 threading, you've got access to the serviceability that press-fit owners often wish they had. Bearings can be replaced individually when they eventually wear, and the threaded interface means you won't need specialized tools or techniques to keep things running quietly.
