Just picked up a Boardman Team frame...

Looking at the bottom bracket area, one side seems to have a bearing in & the other does not... Am I right in thinking to install a new BB I need to remove the existing bearing & start from scratch? How is the best way to get the remaining bearing out if that's the case?

Sorry if this seems a daft question, im still very new to road bikes. Heres pics of what im talking about:

Also, will any BB30 bottom bracket fit? I looked on you tube videos and they seem to simply screw in, but the frame doesn't have any threads? Confused!

    a BB30 BB is only apair of bearings.

    they are press fit.

    read the info on Parktools.
