Why should I pay $10k for eye-talian threaded, if I can just get some pf30 crap for $2000 and slap one of these in there?

You should pay $100 for a rigid 90s MTB with slicks

Why should you do anything at all?
No reason

This is the most appropriate bicycle set-up for 90% of cyclists.

Anything with a non rusted drivetrain and non-gaspipe frame is just going to be uncomfortable because it’s not practical like my busted 35kg dutch city bike. Every person other than me is a granny carrying groceries

Are you homeschooled and otherwise so sheltered that you think a decent non-Walmart bike costs $10000? Stop trolling.

Some people actually like it when pedaling hard makes you go faster. Crazy I know.

a bike doesn't make a rider faster.

You can have fun playing word games and dragging around your creaky three-speed with rubbing brakes and a shrieking chain. Others will have fun riding fast bikes. Different strokes for different folks.

This.

Out of all of the bikes in my stable my rigid is by far my most fun and appropriate bike for commuting.

Because you should always get something with a threaded BB shell rather than something with a press-fit, no matter the cost.

Bullshit. Just bought a full carbon road bike 3 days ago, beat my fastest commute on my old hardtail commuter by three minutes today. A bike 10 lbs lighter is gonna be faster

But why is a threaded BB $8k better than a press fit with a threaded conversion?

A press fit converted to threaded is still a press fit.

The only reason press fit is bad is the creaking. If a converter solves the creaking, then "it's bad because it's press fit" is circular logic

The real racing pros train on old and heavy mountain bikes. The fancy bikes are just for the races themselves.

Because a converter doesn't always solve the problem. You're still at the mercy of possible shitty tolerances on the frame.

Apparently this Praxis conversion has some sort of mechanic which prevents this.
I've heard a lot of good things about the converter, primarily that it removes creaking permanently.

Neither to both. Italian BBs are garbage and any PF is inferor to native threaded bb.

Why do some of you faggots have to make extreme and totally inaccurate statements about pretty much everything? Please fuck off.

It's a great option for sure and the one that I've had the most luck with, but it's not always a sure thing. I think T47 is a great option for pretty much all cranks on the market and will hopefully catch on more. Looks like even Trek is on board and changing some bikes from bb86 to T47. Hopefully they'll get rid of fucking bb90 ASAP.

>>1345041
Why do you say that? Do you have other issues other than the BBs?

drop bars make a difference as does closely spaced gearing
there is a little bit in not having the frame flex so much for a given weight
that and having a high enough seat / low enough bottom bracket
