• Dunno. Probably BSA on their more utility driven models, rite?

    Nobody wakes up and says I'm so glad my bike is BB86. Nobody.

    At least with the 30mm standards you can use Hollowgrams or weird EBB shiz*. And any crank you like.

    I liked the look of this frame - but had a puke on cock moment when I clocked it was 86.

    * i get that you don't need that here with them sexy sliders.

  • True.
    Yet also, at least for me from a mechanical point of view, it stops people complaining about 'creaking'. Not that I have anything supremely bad to say about 30mm standard anymore.

    Saying that, Trek does make up for that lack of OS BB stiffness by making the beefiest BB clusters I've seen on bikes.

    *sexy slider image requirement.
