Found this the other day, and since the Cannondale cranks are a WW favorite, thought it might be of interest to some folks. It seems to allow you to use a Hollowgram crank on a regular 73mm BSA frame. $200 or so for a ceramic BB, plus the axle seems like a reasonable price to me.

I would love to find a kit like that for a 68mm BSA BB. I decided to go BSA for now on my new 29er build but there must be a way to go BB30 since Zipp is BB30 technically and it works on all road frames.

That is the Zipp Vuma BB tool in that kit, or at least a splitting image.

I would not be surprised if these are, in some part, a vumaquad BB copy/Zipp BB30 conversion copy.
