Is that the way to go nowadays, or would you just stick with a typical $40 DUB BB offered by SRAM (my crankset is a SRAM Force E1 12-speed)? I can't shake the idea that basic BBs are more than adequate for everyone's needs, except for guys like Jonas Vingegaard.

I've used that BB for years on two Felt FR's (one Ultegra & one DA). Zero issues, easy install, still original bearings. I would recommend their BB Socket to get correct installation torque.

I'm on the fence right now on a Time ADHX myself. Really would like to go 32mm on the road.
