New xc frame is pressfit (pf92 I believe). Who makes the best threaded bb converter?
Best pressfit bb converter?

Praxis works.
I should also note this is needed for e13 cranks. 30mm spindle. Praxis doesn't appear to make such a thing. I might be forced to go the e13 route. Ie an actual press fit bb.
A little more research indicates making an adapter for e13 cranks (30mm spindle) to bb92 isn't feasible.
I'll give it a shot. If it creaks like a motherfucker I'll just switch back to Shimano cranks (for which I can get a threaded bb converter). I really like my e13 xcx cranks tho.You better convert to a different frame.
whoa what frame did you get? get rid of the yeti?
i found a scott spark over on PB. 2013, was the last year it was available in 26". At this stage w/ 2 kids in daycare i gotta keep things on a budget, so i'm planning on transferring everything from the yeti. after my double disc herniation in my lower a few years back i can't comfortably ride a hardtail for xc. i'm planning on keeping the yeti, maybe mount it too the wall. it's a 2002 frame, and 26" so little resale value. also wanna hold onto because it was one of the last years that yeti made their frames in the US.
word nerd, I'm with you. I've considered parting with the almost unridden evil to buy a project car and get some low end garbage for the three rides a year I do.
I know you hate the notion, but have you tried a 29er hardtail? The scott scale still remains one of the best bikes I've owned. If it were carbonium, I'd probably have kept it as the alloy hardtail was totally uncomfortable.

the yeti has been collecting dust because it's a hardtail. i herniated L4-L6, so barring some sort of miracle, i'm probably giving up hardtails for trail riding for good. i mean, i CAN technically ride one, it's just no fun because of the back pain at the end of the ride, just not worth it. i'm going the upgrade route because with 2 kids in daycare, a whole new bike is out of the question for probably another 5 years. i've also got a really solid spec on the yeti right now.
i'm keeping the megatrail btw
on a related note - is it possible to use a headset removal tool to remove a pressfit bearing/cup?
I just use a hammer and a nylon or brass rod to tap mine out, just move back and forth so you don't get it cockeyed.
i've already got headset removers for 1-1/8 and 1.5. park makes a pressfit BB remover that looks almost identical to a headset press.
