Email brogio? Is that a reminder?

Given that it's a french fillet-brazed frame I'd say put on a starfish :)

Pressfit 30 and Hallowtech II for 5800 105 cranks; which BB to buy?

Exciting!

Very!

Aaaaand done. Phew

that's lovely! what did you use??

Well done!

Noiiice. That's something else I've been meaning to do for ages!

That's one helluva job!

which BB to buy?

Praxis Works seems to be well thought of, and looks to have been designed by people who actually gave the matter some thought.

Thanks folks :) I hope it goes down well!

@powleo I used a product called Full Dip. It's a liquid vinyl, a bit like Plasti Dip. The particular Super Gloss clear coat should make it a bit more durable

Oh dude if you've got it then totally do it. Tout mavic + zap would be insane. and Shamals.

looks amazing!

Not CP but further thoughts on this? Anyone know if Cadence or Blue Door bikes has a mech angle measure thingy?

mech angle measure thingy?

Dérailleur hanger alignment tool is what you should be asking for

Full Shim 6207 And Roval Wheels, Rotor Q ring, Soma HYW, This Mavic Seatpost, Goccia or status gun metal stem, Aero bottle, Black benotto tape...
Enjoy

I looked at this as well which has a pretty good rating - http://www.wiggle.co.uk/sram-pressfit-30-to-bsa-adapter/

I looked at this

The only way to make PF30 even worse would be to go from the default thin plastic bushing to a thick plastic adapter. Well done SRAM, I didn't think anybody your size would have the balls to attempt the utterly pointless. If I wanted something that floppy trying (and failing) to keep my BB spindle parallel with my rear axle, I'd buy a Vitus 979.

today I welded a petit little rack to my commuter bike.

Will buy a Praxis next month. Thanks!

Apex 1 cranks will not clear the chainstays on my M600.
Can swap out the spacers but then the lot will not tighten correctly.
Sram GXP BB installation instructions for 68mm shells vs 73mm shells vs road cranks vs MTB cranks are also a pita.

Apex 1 cranks...M600

Road cranks on a MTB. Who knew that might cause clearance issues?

To be fair to SRAM, they do publish full clearance dimension drawing for all their cranks, so you could have avoided this by preparing properly.

Such empathy!
I would expect nothing less, however.

Could have guessed it would go sour and only found the frame fit spec sheet when I was researching it yesterday.
