No, I meant that people avoid the older Kleins with the proprietary BB30 predecessor like the plague. (They were problematic and hard to service)

Thinking about what Jaltone said, above, re: BB30 being invented as a way to ensure more heft in carbon frames: Why couldn't they have just made a threaded BB to the same dimensions? It's not like going from threaded to press-in had anything to do with the dimensions that one could specify.
