We went adapters - then the conversion BB. IMO the adapters are inferior to a BB30 setup and the conversion BB (Wheels MFG) are superior to a standard BB30 as they kick the bearings out another 10 mm. My son and his teammate both say they feel that. Praxis also makes a conversion adapter but I'm told it puts pressure on the interior of the BB chamber, while Wheels Mfg uses the threads.
