Does Specialized still build with 62mm OSBB shells?

Thanks - did you measure the shell? Because the crank interface, if I'm not mistaken, was PF30 with the OSBB shell.
Edit: looks like Specialized has indeed changed back to 68mm, according to some blogs out there.

Well done. OSBB was useless bullshit. I'm hoping everybody goes to the new threaded BB.

Yes, measured shell. Even double checked because I was sort of surprised.
Do you have a source for those blogs that stated this? I can't find anything.

Touché. Threaded BB's will come back!
Cannondale deserve to be crucified for inflicting useless, POS, only-of-benefit-to-accountants, creaky, press-fit crap on the world.
Update to my earlier response, took some closer measurements.

Measured at the cups ~ 68mm
Measured at the shell ~ 66mm
Measured at the outer races of the bearings ~62mm
Not sure if this means I need spacers or anything for a regular bb30 crank.
