PS I have a buddy with this bike:

Specialized Bicycle Components

OSBB + Sora crank + shims. The thing creaks like a bugger. I recommended he toss the shims and get a Praxisworks BB converter.
Go back and read my OP in this thread. Shimano DOES NOT MANUFACTURE a CRANK FOR USE in BB30 systems. Period. Anything else is an adaptation or bastardization to make a Shimano crank work with a BB30 bottom bracket. You can use adaptors, shims, spacers, paper clips, bobby pins, etc., but it will be a compromise. The mention of your buddy and his adaptation of mis-matched components strengthens my point.
