BB 30 Adapter Recommendation

[msl819]

I am building a frame that has a BB30 bottom bracket but have a Sram Red cranks that takes standard outboard bearings. What is the best adapter for this set up? I was looking at this but have no idea if that is what I need.

That will work. I use a Wheels Manufacturing adapter on two of my bikes (although I have the version with the angular contact bearings), and they work very well.

Can you point me to the one with the angular contact bearings? Do these press in or do they screw together inside the BB she’ll?

BB30 or BB30A. I have noticed some Cannondale frames being sold say BB30, when they really take BB30A.

My frame is a Cannondale Supersix 2012. Any info on this?

Yours is BB30.

You have to press the cup in one side, then the other side screws into that. Very easy job for the LBS if you don’t have a press.

Look for the same BB but with angular contact bearings online. It is a little more expensive than the one in your link.
