I've got a hunch that those nasty BB30 bearings are going to creak and walk in the ally shell eventually- a bit like those nasty integrated headsets bearings- I have heard of campy and shimano bearings having to have a bit of subtle glu-ing (erm bearing retaining compound) to stop them creaking. I think it's a crap design in headsets, even worse in BBs to have the bearings sitting in the ally- not even a press fit! What next, you'll want me to ride a plastic (erm, carbon composite) frame!!!!!
