Frequently asked questions

What threading standard does my bike frame require for a Token bottom bracket? ▸

You can determine your frame's threading standard by measuring the bottom bracket shell width and checking for threads.

Your bike's manual or manufacturer specifications will provide definitive information about compatibility.

How long do Token bottom brackets typically last with regular use? ▸

Token bottom brackets generally provide reliable performance for 10,000-15,000 miles under normal riding conditions. Factors like riding environment, maintenance frequency, and power output can influence longevity, with proper care extending service life significantly.
