ROTOR SABB BOTTOM BRACKET
CUP... The Worlds most intelligent BB?
What is the SABB?
The Self Aligning Bottom Bracket from ROTOR is the standard BB of the Ágilis
crankset and is compatible with most cranksets from other major manufacturers.
The SABB uses external bearings, but contains a fundamental difference to every
other outboard bearing bottom bracket system: the bearings are held within
ball-in-socket housings, allowing them to swivel into absolutely parallel alignment
with each other, irrespective of any outside influences. This automatic self-alignment
of the bearing races occurs independent of any possible frame imperfections
or stresses: unparallel faces, non perfect concentricity of the threading in
both sides, deformation due to excessive loading, etc. Additionally, due to
its user friendliness and simplicity, the consumer can change the bearings
without the need of any special tool. Anybody who is tired of replacing their
standard BB cups from other brands can easily retrofit the ROTOR SABB system
to their bike, guaranteeing thousands of kilometres of care free cycling.
