SRAM DUB cranksets
There are few headaches in the bike world like the current bottom bracket landscape. SRAM aims to unify the current sea of standards with one system without introducing a new shell standard. It is a lofty goal indeed but one worth pursuing. It seems that building up a bike these days is fun until one gets to ‘that’ bottom bracket part. Given a frame, one has to research and educate oneself to see what kind of bottom bracket it takes.
SRAM aims to change that with the introduction of the DUB BB/Crank system.

DUB is compatible with all major bottom bracket standards. Offering better sealing than ever before, without having to make compromises to fit all frames. It opens the door for a new crank spindle for what they claim is the world’s all-time lightest crank set.
