Considering the number of bb30 cranksets out in the market, I was surprised not seeing one designed specifically for bb30 cranks, but only for shimano?

Either way, still a fan of their chainrings as I'm still waiting for Praxis to release their chainrings for Campy cranksets.
*Knocks on wood* the campy pf30 cups I installed on my Merak have been problem free so far.
Just keep in mind, you have opted for the worse case solution for mounting Campy cranks to your PF30 bike. Campy adapter cups pressed into PF30 plastic bushings like you have is an accident in waiting. Campy pressed in cups for BB30 bikes are only fractionally better...because BB30 alloy insert bores are harder and more resilent to cups peeling away from the BB due to bearings being external to BB30 shell...the opposite of design intent with press in bearings.

There are two current solutions which are much more robust to what you run and have effectively 'rescued' Campy for PF30 bike owners.
