Praxis was really born out of the inherit design weakness of PF/BB30.
This is not quite accurate.

In some cases, the crank arm will be flush to the frame. In some cases there will be a spacer. Some Sram BB30 cranks and some Hollowgram cranks, for example, will require a spacer. It depends on which model you get.
