This has just been announced at Eurobike, seems to be a good solution to the shitty press fit BB problem.
Standard tool to fit and it screws together so no need for a press or hammer.

I thought the Praxis was just a bb30 to bsa converter?

Nah they have this too, I extracted mine and went back to BB30 last weekend .. all of these require a 'special' tool albeit praxis' convertor which requires just 2x shimano hollow tech spanners .. T47 is a winner in my book. There is also a china knockoff called mr.bike or something that comes with ceramic bearings on eBay. Plus press fit means no 30mm axles.

There will be every need for a hammer and a drift when you go to unthread it and only one side is pushed out.

Also: inserting the cups in to a press fit then rotating them? What could go wrong?!

T47 is a crutch for low volume framebuilders who have clients that want to use 30mm axles.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
