The Orbea Alma hardtail uses a BSA / English threaded bottom bracket shell (1.37" x 24 TPI), a 1.37 in (about 34.8 mm) threaded bore, 68 mm (road), 73 mm (MTB), 83 mm and 100 mm (fat / DH) wide.
It is a threaded shell (1.37 in x 24 TPI, drive-side cup left-hand (reverse) thread, non-drive right-hand), so the bottom bracket screws in rather than presses. Confirm the shell width before buying, because the same thread is cut in more than one width.
