which BB for FatBoy?

[Tarroneus]

Have a 2015 FatBoy, stock crankset. BB sounds like grape nuts all of a sudden. Anyone recommend a replacement? Believe it's PF30, 100mm.

Add milk. Skim or 2% if weight matters....

Wheels manufacturing has designed a threaded PF30 bottom bracket to avoid creaking. I don't personally have any experience with it, but if I was changing my BB I'd probably give it a try.

Also, pick up some of their crank shims for fine tuning your chainline...

I have this and it still creaks, but it's not as bad as the stock one.

Ugh, thanks for the reply...it seemed like it would be a good concept to stop the creaking, but I guess not.

HOPE shows a 100mm screw-together BB on their site. They call it a PF46 - looks like it would work?

some other stuff went awry on the bike and ended up taking it to Hilltop in Madison. Think they're putting in a SRAM BB, but will let you know.

Please do, I'm watching the thread, and one day I'll need to do the same for my Fatboy and Stumpjumper as well. The Stumpy is just beginning to creak mildly in the right temperature.
