I was also confused, but then realized that the photos provided an illusion of a lip. Actually, both cups come with notched lockrings. For extra margin in adjustments, TA offers inner spacers that go inside the cups. I made a couple of such ring spacers myself. My cups are silver.

In your experience is the Axix lockring rugged enough, as it's aluminum? I could always replace it with a steel one though. Does the Park BBT- 7

I had no problems with durability and, at some point, I experimented with BB a lot and took it multiple times out. I indeed use BBT-7 which I had to squeeze a bit inside a vise to lower its diameter to fit the Axix lockrings.

The bearings are standard. I don't have the number at hand but you can get them everywhere, including ceramic etc.
