All you street dogs, do us a favor. Flip your bike over and take a look at the bottom of your bottom bracket. Is it all beat up? Scratched, dented, looking like it went a few rounds with Paddy Pimblett? Frames aren't meant to be grinded on. And let's be real, they're expensive! Save your frame during grinds with the Buddy Mfg BB Buddy.
The BB Buddy is a replacement non-drive bottom bracket spacer that is slightly larger than your BB shell. Made for abuse from 4140 post heat-treated chromoly, this will give your frame some added protection and help you lock in to those Derek Dusters.
This Short Stack Version uses a 2mm shorter stack than the original BB Buddy but the same amount of grinding surface (the angled bit that sits up against the crank arm is shorter). More suited for anyone running bigger boss cranks (such as Odyssey Thunderbolts) or if you just want to run your cranks a little closer to your frame.
You ride hub guards, right? Makes sense to have a BB guard!
