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

I'm using one of these on my track frame which has a threaded English BB to run a BB30 Rotor SRM. It'll work with any English threaded BB and standard BB30 crankset.

Didn't realize they had this out there until a friend clued me in while we were discussing PM's. Thought folks might find this useful.

Not all BB30 cranksets. Rotor 3D+, 3DF, Sram S900 series BB30 cranksets have longer spindles than standard BB30 cranksets, which is why they work on 68mm threaded bb(with bsa bb30 bb cups) and cervelo's bbright framesets.

I stand corrected. Thanks for that.
