BB30 and Shimano Crank
I am getting a new Cervelo S5 and it has a BB30 bottom. I know they make adapters is one brand better than another?
My bottom bracket bearings are FSA they have about 7,000 miles on them should I change them? If I change them what brand should I get?

The BB30 shell limits the number of cranks that can be used. To use a Shimano crank, I used this adapter, see https://fairwheelbikes.com/kcnc-bb30-...et-p-2926.html ;
I have about 2000 miles on the adapter and it has been perfect.

Biking Viking.
Will a GXP adaptor fit a shimano crank? Might want to double check that.

not real impressed with the press in type bbs in general. i would just get whatever is in stock, they will both die a quick death. water intrusion is the biggest killer
