Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Is this the right adapter for my press fit 30 frame?

Hello!

I just got a frame with a pressfit 30 bottom bracket. I want to use the standard SRAM Red cranks that I have. Will this thing allow me to do so?

Thanks!

Yes, but you would need to remove the pf30 bb that its on the bike and then press in that gxp/bsa compatible pf30 bb.

Hey, make sure not to torque the cups down too far. That happened with mine and the cups sort of warped the adapter out of square just enough to keep the cranks from spinning freely. A slight loosening of the cups allowed it all to settle back down. They're still plenty tight and now my crank spins as it should.
