given how often there are issues with it, it is a valid complaint. which is why i made mention of crank bros too.Pressfit haters are for me an endless source of entertainment
Not a hater here, just avoiding them because I like to take out my BBs once in a while to clean the shit out that makes it in there.Pressfit haters are for me an endless source of entertainment
You mean the plastic adapters shimano does not include with every BB?But then you have to ride...you know...a pressfit BB.
Seriously, the plastic adapters Shimano include with every BB work great and do not clutter up your toolbox. In contrast to pressfit, you do not have to have a bearing press/puller in the mobile toolbox either and still can fix creaky BBs in the car park.
I am not having a go at you guys, I just try to be sarcastic with not so much success apparently.
missing the separate thread where this is discussed is what's wrong with the industry.
FATALITY
This was in retail packaging, XT BB. Pretty standard unit I'd think...
I do remember in other cases they'd include tools on some of the high end components.
Just checked, and the pic clearly shows the adapter still included. Weird!

Frames with round bottom brackets work fine with press fit. It’s not the bb the problem, imo.Yeah I know, it's horrible, a disgrace to humankind...
24mm spindle with press-fit works great for me. No creaky BB, no need for last minute fix in the car park, no service. Nothing
But who's going to buy their E-bikes?
There's no way, they pay 114% of their income in taxes. They don't have money!
Paris Roubaix winning lady just got 1/20th in prize money compared to the men: 1535€ against 30 000€...
Thankfully her team has been matching prize money payouts.
While I understand that women cycling is not as big as men cycling, 1/20th is an insulting difference specially considering that it was the first race for the woman and that both races were broadcasted.

My concern doing that is pinching the bearing cup, which will pinch the bearing and make it wear out quickly.
I watched the men's race and 0/20th of the women's race so she is making more than the men in relation to the exposure they generate for sponsors.
Through a miracle of luck all the press fit BB bikes I've owned have been fine. That's 4 Scotts and 1 YT with BB92 & Raceface Cinch, 1 Fuji with PF30, and 1 Santana with two BB386s. However, while working in shops I've dealt with many bikes that had creaky, ill-fitting press fits, especially when I worked at a Specialized dealer.
Yep, that’s what it feels like.Ok Bobo
I went for 165mm cranks on my trail bike. I had 175 before. It mainly felt the same except for a little less power during punch climbs. And also less hip pain post ride which was a nice relief and not expected.
I felt a tiny difference with 165’s for the first ride or two, but now that I think about it, I haven’t ever noticed since. My inseam is a hair over 32”, FWIW.
Course I did...That much was obvious right away.
So you don't like, cool. I, for one, like having options, and am not sure why having options is what's wrong with the industry.
