PRODUCT/APPLICATION

ABOUT CHACHA

CHACHA is a bottom-bracket set (BB-set) that we offer as part of our premium selection of BB-sets. It features internal ball bearings and is designed to accommodate cranksets with an integrated spindle.

ECO-DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS CHACHA has been developed along the lines of our internal eco-design, circular design, and social design criteria and features the following related attributes: • All composite parts are made from a material with a particularly high recycling content (30%).

The carbon footprint of this material is 50% lower than the carbon footprint of the standard material we use.

• Optionally, we are offering ball bearings from Germany (as opposed to ball bearings from China), which have the potential to significantly reduce our transport emissions (CCP [Scope 3]) once customers choose this option.

• The production/assembly takes place in cooperation with a workshop for people with disabilities.

The facility we partner with is a modern dual-service organisation for vocational rehabilitation.

DELIVERABLES • 1× Pre-assembled unit consisting of a press fit composite cup for the right side, a ball bearing (either made in Germany or made in China), and a diameter reduction ring.

• 1× Pre-assembled unit consisting of a press fit composite cup for the left side, a ball bearing (either made in Germany or made in China), and a diameter reduction ring.

• 1× Composite sleeve* • Spacers* in different dimensions (see technical specifications) and customizable quantities based on individual customer needs (spacers can be purchased separately from CHACHA or as part of a set including CHACHA and a particular number of spacers) • Optional sealing O-Ring assembled on the sleeve

*Even though these parts appear to be pre-assembled when unpacking the BB-set, they are, in fact, loose parts.

INTRODUCTION

... it provides excellent value for money at an attractive price point, all while being made in Germany. ... it predominantly consists of composite materials (apart from the ball bearings), which makes it extremely lightweight. ... it is one of the few BB-sets of its kind featuring composite cups. These cups are much easier to handle than metal cups in terms of assembly and disassembly, as they cannot corrode. ... it stands out due to its exceptional rotational quality. In particular, the ball bearings made in Germany (which can optionally be chosen as an alternative to the ball bearings from our Chinese supplier) provide unparalleled smoothness thanks to the double-lip sealing technology.
