What is the better for CX? BSA or BB30 bottom bracket? And... why?
Does it matter? If it helps, my bb30 equipped road bike has gone back to the shop for the BB to be sorted as it was creaking like a sailing ship after only 5 weeks. 5 weeks of dry riding. But that could be anything, not the bb type.
What ever comes in the frame you want. you can get adaptors to put bsa in a bb30 frame,
i used square taper in my first cx race. was 26/27.
i reckon i could have got on the podium if only i'd had bb30 😉
I have the option to choose... So I'd like to know Your opinion! What would You choose? And why?
if the bike is rarely used (e.g. race bike) - BB30
used it regularly - BSA
I got through 3 PF30s in 6 months this summer, all replaced under warranty
It would be a race bike, but I'd like to use it for training, sometimes and racing... every weekend. I had problems with press-fit bottom bracket in my MTB, too.
BSA then with a hope or CK BB if your using HT2
