Ok, I'm done with the snark and sarcasm. I've given you your point - BB30 isn't all crap. But you struggle to understand many people do have issue, so we're all idiots with crappy LBSs? Get over your blind arrogance. You've given me nothing I can't find in a 5 second Google search. If you can't get over yourself, you can refrain from posting replies to my questions.
My personal experience is the strongest riders are more mechanically clueless. People have different talents. The problem arises when people that aren't technical like you make sweeping accusations against a given design without foundation. You of course are entitled to your opinion based upon your single data point when since the whole industry of the best race bikes on the planet are BB30, you are overruled...lol.
No not all that struggle with BB30 are idiots...far from it. I suppose you could play the guitar like Hendrix and struggle with BB30...or write poetry...or be a grommet cook...or an opera singer....or a great writer. BB30 is about as simple a BB that has been devised and is dead reliable if installed properly and greased and much more cost effective than other BB solutions is all. People have all kinds of weird ideas.
