FWIW I too use the Parlee PF30 Campagnolo UT cups and have no noises. Praxis was not an option at the time but i most likely would have chosen Parlee since they were the lighter option.

OT was in consideration, however it's in "old" design :( and suppliers won't swap cranks …. So I will stick with UT 4arm design crank . I use usually Loctite 648 ( bit stronger than 608 ) - so hope for best.

I decide to change for Campy my CX bike as well, so maybe will find 36-46/8 OT crank for it ? ( will be "old" 11spd Chorus there, and same PF30 bb shell ) .

I can be wrong, and have plenty of examples for that ;)

Campagnolo have dropped the CX chainset for 2015. No more 46/34T chainset from Campagnolo. They seem to getting out of CX specific parts. No more canti's and disc brake offering. Maybe teams no longer use there kit in CX.

The Parlee cups are very good too since they are deeper than the campy ones. As for weight, the Parlee cups are only 9 grams less than the praxis BB. For peace of mind praxis is the better option now.

Any idea where in EU buy Praxis ? ( had similar solution on Crux ( Rotor BB ) - worked perfectly - just install and forget :) , so just "in case" Praxis will be "rescue choice" nr 1.

"support" - small "device" which works same as Shimano bolt+plate on new fd to support leverage/ stiffness ( longer arm, higher forces )
