Bike Matrix Ltd’s Post

Bottom Brackets. Funny name, but not so funny when you’re trying to shop for a new one. With 60 BB shell standards and 90+ BB configurations of bearings and shells in Bike Matrix, things are already looking a little tricky. Add 140+ crank spindle standards into the mix, and suddenly the room goes silent. Now imagine: bottom brackets that fit multiple shells, spacers inboard or outboard of bearings, crank spindles measured in ways that make no sense once assembled, and marketing jargon that leaves you wondering if “Ai offset” is actually a chatbot. Sound familiar? Bike Matrix has you covered. Our detailed mapping of crank and BB standards takes the guesswork out of compatibility, so you can focus on the real decisions—like “Do I want ceramic bearings?” or “Which anodized color matches my seat collar?” Currently, our bottom bracket logic is in testing and will be live in Q1, stay tuned!

Thank you Bike Matrix Ltd for helping make some sense to the fitment madness. I really hope your work also exposes how fractured our industry is when it comes to standards. There's no reason for this. I had an outside marketing person come to me and say "I was blown away after doing research on your industry (the bike industry). There appears to be no unity and everyone just does whatever they want. No one seems to work together on standards or model year release. It's seems to be a very cavalier industry." Nailed it...

This small and relatively cheap part of the bike is so important because it is the only one carrying the enitre weight of the rider who is jumping on it. And complexity of variants is mind boggling even to me who is working with this part, let alone the product manager or the service shop technician who also needs to know everything else. Kudos for trying to solve these kinds of problems...bigger problem you solve the bigger reward gets sp you should definitely get rewarded big for this one 😉😁
