About to purchase a Chromag Primer. I was sad to notice the press fit BB - but realized I don't really care as long as it is quiet! (A noisy bike drives me mental). Anyone have any experience/ issues with this on a Primer? Also, I'm a 5'11'' rider going for a size M/L, but was curious if I should size up. Any insights or advice would be appreciated!
I have a large 2019 primer (I'm 186cm), went from ML rootdown and the large primer fits better. I've been running RF Next R cranks with the Race Face press fit BB with no issues. I bought a quality machined set of installation adapters to ensure a alignment when pushing the BB in with the press, and voila. I built up the bike in September 2019 and rode through the sloppy, sloppy winter, and still quiet, spins well. The BB has held up very nicely. I don't wash my bike and when I do, I try to make sure that I don't spray water around the BB.
If you want to check sizing, you're welcome to throw a leg over mine, I'm in NV.
