Press Fit 30

Which is Better BB30 or Press Fit 30???

After building a few BB30 bikes with the snap ring and insane boring tolerances I can say nobody can charge enough for this process. Plus it still has flaws. Then comes SRAM with the Press Fit 30.

The Press Fit 30 is similar to the concept that Shimano is using. It is a nylon sleeve that hosts the bearings and does not require snap rings or any other crazy stuff. It gives you a nice big BB shell for larger tubes, no counter miters and lastly does not require a tolerance that is +/- .001" !

I once again needed to make a new spacer for my fixture since the BB30 one does not work with this system. Tomorrow I should receive the bearings and will make the actual shell. I look forward to this system over the BB30.
