What's a bottom bracket?!?
lol
jk
But seriously, what are some decent bottom brackets that fit 68mm English?
I quickly discovered that the GXP BB Omniums come with SUCK.
I'm pretty new to "direct drive train" related knowledge & would appreciate some guidance!!! Thanks!

68mm is the width of the BB shell and English is the threading -- both are standard, so you don't really have to worry about that. You just need a GXP compatible one. Off the top of my head I know Phil Wood makes one. Pricey but you'll probably only ever have to buy one.

Yeah, pretty much. As long as it also falls into the 68mm/English threading standard. A lot of road bikes have weird sized bottom bracket shells these days. This one, for example, would not work: https://www.competitivecyclist.com/s...IZ&rec=sameCat
Will do then.
Thanks for your input man!
