External Bottom Brackets

A lot of lbs now have a ht2 bearing press as they are also fed up of constant cup changes. i think they can do it with cups still in the frame.

My next bb will be a hope ceramic, havent heard as many good things about anything else

We don't and I'd rather just change the whole bb. Wasteful maybe but they ain't expensive and it's usually a 5 minute job if that. I imagine pressing bearings in and out would be a bit more labour intensive and surely the cups will have a limited lifespan if your removing/replacing the bearings which are an interference fit?
