What is BSA threading?
Threaded bottom brackets use a shell with internal threads to hold threaded parts. The frame shell may be threaded directly at the shell, or there may be an insert installed that has internal threads. For a review of tool selection for bottom bracket service, see Bottom Bracket Tool Selection: Threaded and Thread-Thru.
Is BB30 compatible with BSA?

Do I need crank spacers?
For all cranksets with a constant diameter spindle (30mm, 29mm DUB and 24mm), spindle spacers are used as needed to remove any side-to-side play of the crank, and to center the crank in the frame. For most installations, the included spacers will be enough to properly position the cranks in the BB.
What is the size of a BSA bottom bracket?

What size is the bottom bracket shell?

Right hand threads on the non-drive. * Essentially a PF30 with 86.5mm wide shell. * Essentially a PF30 with 92mm wide shell. * Colnago standard with a threaded BB shell.

What is the difference between a bottom bracket and a BBright?
On top of that, the term ‘bottom bracket’ has been confused. Where it once referred to a single unit, it’s now often used to describe the whole system. A BBright uses the same diameter bearing (42mm) as a BB30, and also supports a 30mm spindle. Yet the former fits a 68mm BB shell, the latter a 79mm shell.
How do you remove the bottom of a BSA bottom bracket?
Removing a BSA Bottom Bracket Use a splined tool along with a breaker bar, or at least some sort of long handled wrench to loosen the BB cups in the shell. The longer the wrench handle, the better, especially when you’re breaking the drive side free of the bottom bracket shell, which is usually tighter than the non-drive side.
