corresponding decrease in bearing size.<\/p>\n<p>Smaller bearings are rarely a good thing on bikes, and this is especially true on bottom brackets \u2013 smaller bearings result in a smaller load area, which can result in increased wear.<\/p>\n<p>This has certainly been my experience with every BSA30 bottom bracket I have used \u2013 I have been lucky to get more than 1,000km of riding out of some replacement bearings smacked into a BSA30 shell.<\/p>\n<div class=\"&quot;image-handler__container\" image-handler__container--aspect=\"\" style=\"&quot;padding-bottom:\" calc=\"\">
