Phil Wood Bottom Bracket Cartridge

Phil Wood Bottom Bracket Cartridge, Phil Wood & Co. manufactures square taper bottom brackets for nearly all square taper cranks.

The spindles are made out of either US produced heat-treated stainless steel as either a plain spindle (for use with press-fit style bottom bracket shells) or assembled in a cartridge with bearings.

Our cups (also known as mounting rings) are sold separately from the bottom brackets and are available in all the threadings (British, Italian and French).

Our heat-treated stainless steel spindle bottom bracket is offered with an aluminum alloy cartridge and sealed bearings. It is offered for maximum durability and minimum flex.
