Hi, all. Sadly, I have not kept up to date with all the current bottom bracket technologies, as external BB seems the ticket. However, I recently purchased a frame that uses a PF30 BB. It's a '14 Specialized Enduro 29er with a 73mm BB.
I already own a Sram XX1 crankset, GXP style. I'd like to mate the two together. I know this is possible, but I'm looking for the most efficient/simplest method and getting conflicting information.
First I've been told that the FSA adapter that allows you to use the actual threaded GXP BB is the best. Here's a link:
Universal Cycles -- FSA BB30 Bottom Bracket Adapter
Appears to me, though, that you could use something like the Chris King adapter to accomplish the same task (BB conversion kit #3):

I live in Arizona (dry environment) and want something I don't have to bother with once it's set up, beyond routine maintenance. Thanks much.
