Bottom Bracket Conversion

Is it possible to swap from a sealed cartridge bottom bracket to a threaded? I am wanting to change out my low end shimano bottom bracket to a more reliable sramm dub bottom bracket but am not sure if it will fit or not. Thanks for any tips or help

If the cartridge bottom bracket is threaded into the bottom bracket then yes it should be possible to switch. That of course depends on the threading of the Sram DUB bottom bracket.

Cheers

There are also conversion kits available for some pressed bottom brackets.
