I've just taken delivery of this framset:
http://www.saddleback.co.uk/felt-f-1-2013
It was supplied as an insurance replacement and as such it was supplied with adapters to run my UT Chorus crankset.
However I've been supplied with 2 lots of adapters and now I'm not sure if I need both or if one is a preference to the other :? :?
So I have:
http://wheelsmfg.com/bb30-adapter-for-c ... ranks.html
and:
http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/sp/road-t ... ampbtbr490
in 68*42 format.
They both look like the do the same job, so any pointers?

Thanks

The frame is also supplied (By Felt) with:
FSA BB30 w/ 24mm spindle reducers - what are these to be used?

    Either is OK - there have been reported problems with the Campagnolo ones, so why not try the Wheel Mfg ones? The delrin material should be better at preventing creaking. The 24mm reducers are for use with the likes of Shimano, FSA MegaExo cranks etc.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    Thanks Monty, you have just confirmed what Saddleback bikes (importer/distributor) have told me. They use the Wheel Manf' ones on the Argos/Shimano team bikes to run their Dura Ace cranks.
    I had read of issues with the campagnolo cups, but these seem to be centred around PF30 cups and not the BB30 ones.
    Thanks...
