Yep, that's why I like the concept. Allows you to run 30mm non-386EVO cranks in a threaded shell. WNTL?
Brommers-
WNTL?
Mostly that the big advantage of 68mm shells in the potential for low Q, and you can't exploit that as long as the rear end is as wide as it is, and getting wider. For 135/142mm wide dérailleur rear ends, 86mm is narrow enough at the BB shell for the chain run to the top sprocket to be the Q-limiting factor, and you can use 86mm×30mm BB axles in a 68mm BSC shell.

I think T47 is great, all the large axle benefits with none of the stupid press fit issues. It'll never take off properly as it's no use in a modern carbon frame but Chris King and white industries have both said they'll keep supporting it ad infinitum so I'm happy to run with it.
