It's not incorrect if it results in perfect function.

Arrghh guys i'm confussed The bike doesn't come with any BB, and my old bike was a bb30 bracket, where my lbs installed c-bear adapter so it could fit my gxp crankset (bought the gxp because i did know i would buy a another bike) and i think i will buy the chris king, so it matches the headset and so on.
Any others who can confirm i should buy the #9 adapter also?

If it's a BSA threaded BB and you plan to run GXP then the #9 adapter is what you need - ignore the talk of spacers etc., that's all irrelevant!

Your frame's BB must have been exactly the right width so your install did not need the spacers. That doesn't mean that it's that way for everyone.

Your LBS should be fine with this.
