Still dont understand why they are making stuff with more parts to fail, threads, cups and ready to go. In this case is, ok! what do i have here?? my crankset works with this? who knows? who makes the cups i need? it will work fine?? Oh campagnolo doesnt work with this! hmm... now i have a creak, have to loctite the cups again!, thats so saaadd... too many parts that can fail now. Nothing like regular BBs.
Leave that new stuff to pro racers, as i said before, like 99.9% of the population just doesnt need new standards and if cervelo continues like this, their whole bikes will use proprietary headsets, BBs and cranksets. Great!

I really see BB30/PF30 as fixing a problem that occurred when the oversized/hollow spindle cranks came out - outboard bearings eat heal clearance.
Since BB30 uses a 68mm shell with internal bearings, it can be adapted to use with just about an crank system, plus it is simple and offers cranks as narrow as the old square taper.
BBright - I don't know...
