ALL bottom brackets / BB's and cranksets can most easily fit into a BB30 bottom bracket shell / frame, more than any other type of BB shell / frame...ya just need the right adaptors, YES? Think about it...................................
BB30 has the narrowest shell / frame width. Thus, any bottom bracket bearing and crankset can fit into it because they are all wider then the BB30 shell/ frame width. This includes and is probably not limited to: any Shimano, FSA, SRAM, Truvativ, Race Face, Campagnolo, Fulcrum etc. 24mm integrated spindle crankset and their respective BB bearings, BB386EVO cranksets...and even any old square taper, isis, octalink system....only the right adaptor is needed. Just ask Wheels of Bloor in Toronto, Canada: www.wheelsofbloor.com. Head mechanic, Erik can custom make one, if necessary. "no problem. anything is possible!"
Albeit, a metal / aluminum / titanium / steel BB30 frame is safer and thus, in my humble,experienced and wise opinion, is recommended if you want max. reliable, durable compatibility. Unless, carbon becomes harder and tougher than metal?? Uhhmmm, not that we know of ;) Ask DARPA, NASA or F1. ;)

BB386EVO 30mm AL spindle crankset compatible with any old 68mm threaded BSA BB shell / frame!
HOW?
HIVE!
the HIVE by e*thirteen has been producing a 30mm AL spindle crankset that fits English threaded BB (bottom bracket) shells in both 68 and 73mm in widths. Yup, you heard it right, you can safely install a cutting edge superlight N stiff 30mm aluminum integrated spindle crankset onto any old frame! Like those old steel 70's "10-speed" bikes you find in decrepid, rotting public junkyards...or Bike Pirates - same thing, right? :D Just kidding Geoffy B (Bike Pirates founder)!
Albeit, currently that I know of, the only 30mm diameter aluminum spindle crankset available that wld work here is e thirteen's own fifteen G cranksets which r an MTB 4 bolt 104 bcd design. Maybe a BB30 triple? It's all about the BB shell+bearing width in relation to the crank's integrated spindle length; spindle must be the right length/long enough/longer than a typical road, double chainring crankset's BB30 spindle.
This (useful?) technical/mechanical discovery brought to you by BIKEFX by Dex....or just, Dex...that's my name and cycling's my game!
