Origin-8 BB30 Adapter Kit
Origin-8 BB30 Adapter kit
Brand new from Origin-8, a BB30 bottom bracket adapter that allows you to run a non-BB30 crank with a BB30 frame. With this adaptation system you reap all the benefits of having a BB30 bottom bracket without having to buy a super expensive crank. Most standard outboard/integrated crank and bottom bracket systems on the market today have a spindle O.D. (outside diameter) of 24mm. A BB30 bearing will not accommodate this, but with their new BB30 adapters you can run any GXP or HT2 spindle on a frame that is designed for the BB30 bearing system for a fraction of the cost. The adapter is complete with the C-clips, sealed cartridge bearings and cones for a fluid and finished look.
- Machined alloy adaptors
- Sealed Cartridge bearings (6806)
- Shims and C Clips included
- Adapters allow the use of 24mm OD spindle cranks in BB30 frames

West Point and Wildcat Races Added
Everyday more races are scheduled and more races appear in the BikeReg.com listings. As my season gets closer, I’ve added a couple of races to my schedule. First, the 2012 Army Spring Classic is including USAC categories for non-collegiate racers. It is a two day event with a TTT and circuit race on Saturday, and an ITT hill climb and criterium on Sunday. The race is held each year at the U.S.Military Academy at West Point. I’ll be racing the Cat 4/5 ITT and Crit on Sunday.
Next, I’ve been in contact with the folks from the Wildcat Epic and they have said that the current race date conflict between their event and a NYS MTB Series event will be adjusted with the Hurley Mountain Classic, from the NYS MTB Series, being moved. That opens the door for me to race the Wildcat Epic for the first time. The Wildcat Epic is a 2-day mountain biking experience held in the picturesque Shawangunk Mountains of New York.
Both events are pretty exciting for me. West Point is just such a cool place to visit, and the Wildcat Epic I’ve been wanting to race since it’s inception in 2010. Both will be extremely challenging for me, but I am very much looking forward to both events.
