I have a 2014 Whyte 29-C

It has a BB30 but I'm using a sram press fit sleeve then installing standard cups then placing the crank in, I seem to be having a lot of issues with this setup.

Are there any other ways i can get a converter so i can go from BB30 to standard 'GXP' fitting, I can't seem to find much at all on the typical sights.

Any suggestions?

Thank A

    sleeve seems to be coming out the frame while riding, by around 5mm.

    I went bb30 to external. The sleeve was pressed in by bike shop secured with loctite. Had to wait 24 hours for it to set prior to fitting new bearing.

    Sleeve I used was the fsa one available from chain reaction.

    Not sure if is exactly what you want, but Praxis do a press fit BB that converts to normal and is threaded together.
