If the question is how many bikes are going to be using BB30 in the future, which is the topic of this thread, you know the answer to that. Which is that it is a declining trend.
What brands aren't using it? You know, small brands like: Giant and Trek and Raleigh. I am not familiar enough with Specialized to comment on their planning on way or the other.
I don't care about BB30 or any other standard one way or another. Matters to me not. They are all fine to me. The industry trends interest me and they are quite clear on this subject. Press BBs are here to stay, BB30 losing significant ground to other press systems, no matter how good or bad it may be.
You are suffering from Bobnesia. Just because a given proprietary BB isn't verbatim BB30, doesn't mean it doesn't have the same design challenges.
They are pretty much all press fit of some incantation...most but not all with BB30 bearings.
A ridiculous discussion.
