TOKEN TK4624 PF30 Adapter / Press-Fit Thread

The PressThread might be small, but it's packed with technology and is a great solution for riders who have compatibility issues or unwanted noise. Token starts by making this adapter with its Fusion technology. The easy way to construct this adapter would be to use metal that fits right into the frame. However, this can damage the frame and lead to premature wear. The safer way would be to use plastic or fiber-covered aluminum, but these have their own problems. Plastic tends to swell and deform when wet, which can lead to fit issues and can cause the bearings to move and experience excessive wear. Fiber is too brittle to properly account for frame tolerances, making it little better than just alloy.

By combining aluminum, plastic, and fiber, Token is able to create an adapter that utilizes the best properties of all these materials. Aluminum provides a stable platform for the bearings, ensuring the bottom bracket lasts longer. The fiber and plastic are fused into one material that can deform slightly to better fit the frame and eliminate creaking. It can also be machined accurately and will not deform when wet.

If you want to use your current Shimano or SRAM GXP bottom bracket and cranks with a PF30 frame, PressThread is the solution for you. It's priced lower than a new bottom bracket and can be reused without problems.
