I see that Praxis has finally released the Ultra Torque BB30 conversion bottom bracket. https://praxiscycles.com/product/conv-bb-campagnolo/

Has anyone jumped in yet? I have a frameset to build w/Campy Record 10 speed this month and I'm looking seriously at this option, AOT Parlee or Wheels Manuf solutions. Thoughts, plans, or history appreciated!

Have about 2k miles on the Parlee Campag PF30 adapter in my ti Hampsten. Seems OK so far.

If I was doing it again I'd probably try the Praxis. I like the threading vs press in design.

No experience with either but if I were in need, I would go praxis. I like threads vs press in and I've heard the shimano version is great.

Time for an update. When changing cranks I noticed the c-clip hole on the Parlee has chipped out and now it's a slot which allows the c-clip to move. Corresponded with Parlee, and they were pleasant; however, they said they'd not seen it before, that it was likely due to user error, and that they didn't have any DS cups available so I'd have to purchase a new set.

Thought about giving it another go, but I'm ordering a Praxis to replace the failed Parlee.
