Thanks Stan, I usually do all my own work but let my local bike shop (Two Wheeler Dealer in Brea) install the bearings on my then-new KHS Team carbon frame when it was new; a couple of years ago now.

No BB30 troubles so far . . .

I read somewhere that you can make a small fortune riding a bicycle! I assume you'd have to start with a large fortune.

The answer is, "YES!" My teammate rides a 2011 Colnago that is all Campy and when anything gets replaced, it's Campy. I had the option of getting Campy on my Colnago, when I bought it in 2012, but opted for Shimano Ultegra instead. As much as I ride and go through parts, buying all Campy replacement parts would definitely put a dent in my wallet.
