Hello, yes, our BSA Threaded Bottom Bracket will work with a 100mm, you will not be able to use the inner sleeve, however, the cups will thread in just fine.
Hello, yes, our BB30 can be used with a 83mm BB Shell/Frame.
The two headsets use the same bearings and sealing, so performance-wise they are nearly identical. The main difference in cost is the quality of the finsih, and laser details on the 110 cover and cups as well as the lifetime guarantee that we sell with the 110 series products. You can think of the decision to purchase a 110 vs a 70 series as the decision to purchase the lifetime insurance policy for your headset :)
Though I could not objectively find bottom bracket specs on this bike, I believe this is a Trek BB90 frame. This is a proprietary bottom bracket standard that Trek produced for a number of years, and unfortunately, not one that we have a solution for.
Unfortunately, our Hellbender 70 BB30 bottom bracket is not compatible with this proprietary offset BB30a interface, and since our BB30 bearings are housed outside of the frame, the Cannondale crankset that comes on that bike would not fit. (Spindle too narrow)

Verified OwnerI still haven’t installed it because it didn’t come with the required spindle spacers and I needed to order them separately from another company, an extra $25. Customer service could not help me figure out which spacers were even needed, just told me to visit my local bike shop. Also, the bottom bracket was shipped out assembled incorrectly with one of the seals on backwards, as shown in the image.

Verified OwnerThe Hellbender BB has been a rugged performer that still spins as smooth as the first day on my Ripmo. Cane Creek has a reputation of providing top quality components and excellent customer service. The Hellbender BB definitely lives up to that reputation.

It’s a threaded bottom bracket, so it works. However, for $125 some spacers should be thrown in to account for 68/73mm shells. What is $5 in spacers compared to reducing customer frustration? Other BBs come with the spacers. Also, why are there two spacer kits? One is more expensive with less spacers. That makes no sense. Come on Cane Creek, this is e-Commerce 101 and you’re not passing.
Great bottom bracket. Ridiculous they don’t include the spacer kit kit for the price point. Probably wouldn’t order another on principal. Most others do include spacers for common 73mm shells. LAME!
