Recently we recieved some BBB Components to install on Twenty Nine Inches Soul Cycles Dillinger test rig. We wanted to give you all a brief rundown on all these parts which we will be focusing on throughout the summer.

By the way, “BBB” stands for “Bike parts by Bikers for Bikers”. BBB is a European company that sponsors a few pro road squads and makes a varied palette of cycling goodies.

This seat post is a no nonsense sort of component. It is 400mm in length and it looks to be pretty tough. 246 grams in weight for this 27.2 example. It’s got a two bolt clamp which is pretty standard for quality posts these days.

The smallish logo looks understated and doesn’t take away from the spartan appearance of this post

UltraForce stem

The BBB SkyBar

The stem continues with the understated look. It is a very nicely made piece executed in 2014 alloy and 3D forged. It has a paltry weight of about 134 grams. It seems very smartly made though. The four bolt clamp should keep the 31.8mm SkyBar in place. It is a 6061-T6 piece with 35mm rise and 10 degree back sweep. It weighs in at 336 grams. It looks pretty stout!

Selle San Marco Caymano Saddle

We also received this Selle San Marco Caymano saddle to mount up on the BBB post. It is a pretty well made Italian saddle and weighs in at 170 grams. Unfortunately, it doesn’t agree with my tush at all, so Captain Bob, our other Bike Lab test rider, will be putting this perch to the test, not me!

BBB RoundAbout chain ring

The chain ring is also a BBB piece called the “RoundAbout” (which always makes that “Yes” tune start spinning in my head!) We’re using the 34T version here though and it is 7075-T6 alloy ring. We will be single speeding this one, but it has some rad looking CNC’ed ramps on the back side for you shifter freaks out there.

BBB TurnAround head set

We are also using a BBB TurnAround headset which features angular contact bearings in sealed cartridges. The look, like much of the BBB Components line up, is all business.

We’ll return later with some updates on these components after we have put in some time riding them. Stay Tuned….
