A lot to be said for keeping things maintainable. Someone expressed shock at my lack of electronic shifting and disc brakes on my 2019 bike at the weekend
Thanks for the info. I like that direction; For a press-fit into an aluminum bottom bracket, what happens if the press loosens over time, or is damaged somehow? Pressing into steel cups which are threaded, to me, makes a whole lot more sense, is more robust and serviceable, and if for some wild reason the press diameter becomes loose, you just replace the cups.
