Bit the bullet and ordered THM ceramic. Upgrading five bikes in two years, sucks.

Aaaah ok, sorry. I have the Sworks Cranks, i think its 30mm.
I ended up going with an outboard BB for my SL5 to accommodate the wide THM spindle. I am not sure if the standard changed between SL5 and SL6. In my case, I believe there is an improvement in perceived stiffness due to the wider BB.
Yes, i noticed that an external BB to make the BB wider is needed for fitting the THM Clavicula to the SL6. I'm a little disappointed because the idea of putting THM was to reduce the weight of the Sworks cranks a lot and if you have to mount an external BB, apart from costing more, it increases the weight of the normal BB of the SL6 by 50-60 grams...markdjr wrote: ↑Mon Feb 06, 2023 12:37 amI ended up going with an outboard BB for my SL5 to accommodate the wide THM spindle.

Do you know the weight of the Cbear ones??
THM Regular --> 84,8gr https://r2-bike.com/THM-CARBONES-Bottom ... B30-Frames
THM Ceramic --> 80,9gr https://r2-bike.com/THM-CARBONES-Bottom ... B30-Frames
Only?? This model?? https://www.c-bear.com/en/products/bott ... -clavicula
I see in another post of other user, that he weighted it at 92g, figure that seems in line with the THM ones more or less.
