    Wow, I'm impressed on the Specializec review manuals. That's an amazing investigation. Keep it up, Raoul! This info is all gold.

    Happy to see that the solution you use on your bikes is exactly what I was planning on doing on my carbon bike build!

    Who is also thinking of Hambini when the Cervelo is shown and there is a ton of wiggle in the bracket?

    Great video. Thank you. From the very beginning of design we decided to use English thread instead of press-fit.

    Thanks for another informative video. Your frames help to prove that other systems "can" work and work well. The tolerance stacking that several brands seem to have shows how "good enough" isn't so in the case of bottom brackets. Specialized swinging back to threaded is telling and could be the beginning of a swing away from the many different systems. Thanks again!

    Years of issues with my Roubaix I’ve finally decided to get a new frame, Ali as well. Cheers for sharing😊👍

    Thanks for putting this out and adding an honest expert opinion on these BB's. On my cannondale I replaced with their standard PF30 bearings and always had issue with creaking ... I then used an aluminum Chris King and haven't had a creaking issue since.

    This is why the last mountain bike I bought had a BSA 73mm BB. Insisting on this being a part of my bike made the decision of which bike to buy much easier. It eliminated somewhere around 80% of the bikes on the market :P

    Great demonstration of problems with pressfit bearings. Anyway, bike industry behave similar as other industries. Cost saving is behind many design changes.

    Good man on mission! Great video full of common sense. Can you imagine how much money well known bb brands earned on bb30, pf30 marketing bollocks? LOTS!

    Great overview on specialized bottom brackets. I've been working at a specialized dealer for 11 years and have ridden the wave of these bb changes. After Specialized requested bonding in the plastic cups with epoxy instead of grease,they then came out with awesome alloy cups that once bonded in fixed all creaking at our shop. (If you currently have plastic cups this is the best fix). Soon after these alloy cups were installed at the factory like you showed with very little issues. I still wish the independent cups were aligned with a rigid sleeves to keep the alignment in check. Bearing alignment is more important than $150 ceramic bearings, agreed!
