Title: 057 BB30 Question
Post by: Bhaalgorn on July 31, 2017, 10:32:21 AM

Just ordered a CS-057 with the BB30 option (wanted the versatility of BB30). What's everyone doing for BB on these? I was planning to go with theWheelsMFG bb30 kit  (http://wheelsmfg.com/bb30-angular-contact-bearing-clip-kit.html) and a SRAM XO (technically S2200) crank with an absoluteBLACK flat/BB30 chainring.

I really like the idea of a threaded BB though and am considering a Shimano crank with a BB30>24mm conversion or a SRAM GXP crank with a BB30>GXP bb.

What are your thoughts and experiences?

I'd go right for the BB30 from Wheels. They make good stuff and you'll like the 30mm spindle. I have a CS-057 with a BSA 30mm bottom bracket as i am running a RaceFace Turbine crank. You'll not want adapters. Here bigger is better!
