Which PF30 Bottom Bracket should I get?

I just got a new Titanium bike that needs a PF30 Bottom Bracket.

I am going to be placing 6800 Ultegra components.

Any recommendations?

I tried one from Wheels Manufacturing that did not work.

So am looking for other suggestions

Thanks.

i'm assuming you know that shimano cranks, like the 6800 series, are not designed to be used with a PF30 or BB30 BB? they need to have some sort of adapter BB like the one mentioned above?

That is correct, in regard to the adaptor. There are companies that sell PF30 that are made for shimano without and adaptor. Ex - Wheel manufacturing PF30 for shimano 24mm
