BB30: I know they're prone to certain issues, but what really concerns me is that the guy who installed it did a pretty brutal bodge job. Didn't fit the clips in first, pressed the bearings in too far with a shoddy tool, and then hammered then out with a small metal rod. In the process he chipped the smooth surface on one side of the frame where the bearings sit. They also went in slightly sideways at first. He got them out, fit the clips, and then reinstalled with a better tool, but damage had already been done to the bb area of the frame. Really hope it's ok. If not I'll be asking for cash to buy another.
