To be fair (tooo be faiiiiiiiir) I don’t generally not like the idea of pressfit bottom brackets, I dislike the real life standards/applications. 24mm spindle in PF92 shell with actually good tolerances? Sure.
I think for carbon frames pressfit actually makes more sense in theory than gluing in an aluminum shell.
But 30 spindle inside PF92? The BB bearing lives are depressing.
PF30 shells take up a lot of real estate but at least they fit proper bearings. Endless creaking issues though that I’ve never seen with headsets even on the cheapest rigs.
…
I have enough real life experience to suggest that the industries return to BSA threaded shells for everything is a great thing.
