Don't listen to this.
BB30/press in bearing systems are already shipping on every mid to high end road frame out there. And will be more prevalent in the future. Don't buy into a deprecated standard. Especially since any current BB30 compatible frame can take ANY modern thread in english BB system. The FSA adapter is both easily installed, removed and reuseable. With the option of moving to a full BB30 system in the future.
Enough with the lame retrogrouching on this forum.
