but is there any reason why square taper seems to prevail with functional/rando/gnarmac bikes?
Lots of length option, and very reliable, Hollowtech BB are great as it is, but are suspectiable to wear if the BB shell isn't faced correctly.
I'd says that square taper are the least likely to be replaced base on my experiences servicing bicycles (the most were BB30, namely Cannondale).

Not sure if i'm imagining it, but is there any reason why square taper seems to prevail with functional/rando/gnarmac bikes? I see a lot of White Industries, Ritchey Logic and VO Grand Cru chainsets. Low Q factor?
