Besides the factory version - are there any other Lightning Carbon Crank BSA Compatible Bearings and Cups?
I am using MTB version on 73mm BSA threaded bb

Of course - there are loads of 30mm spindle compatible BBs
Would any of those be incompatible for any reason?
Which one is best sealed / reliable and light weight?

ok doing some more research
Measured existing Lightning carbon crank cups width outside bb is 10.56mm
Raceface next SL BSA30 / Cinch bb cup width outside bb portion is 11.3mm
FYI I have circa 2011 Lightning carbon cranks with XX spider 2x10
the existing set up stick out a bit further than standard XT 2x10 cranks which mean I have to crank in the Low screw on the FS almost all the way to push the front derailleur out far enough to shift to the big ring. It works but its near the limit so I am a bit fearful that using a wider cup would not have terrible chain line.
