• I'd avoid bb30 like the plague, pressfit 30 or 86 would be a more sensible option they are more common now, but BSA if you want a simple creak free life

  • That is exactly my thing. I have a English BB with a converter to BB30 (SRAM Red) on my SystemSix and it makes very odd noises when pressure is put through it.

    I definitely want to 100% avoid that with this build.

    It's extremely unlikely that a craft framebuilder has the kit to machine a BB30 shell. PF30 maybe. Not sure about shitbb86 and othersuch nonsense.

    xDOMx Ignore @Amey regarding BB30 / PF30 - neither is 'shimano adapated / approved / whatever'. Both take a 30mm axle, both require adapters to work with 24mm cranks, of which there is a plethoria of options, but honestly if you want to run 24mm cranks go with BSA for an easy lyfe.
