Hello,

I have a 2013 Specialized Venge Expert.

I want to run a set of Specialized FACT Cranks with a Quarq on it. The bottom bracket is Specialized OSBB Carbon design, 61mm in width, which makes selection problematic. Frame currently has no BB on it.

What bottom bracket would you run to minimize creaks?

BBinfinite has an OSBB option that will work with those cranks. I've always been happy with their one piece designs and they never developed a creak (knock on wood).

Specialized do alloy conversion cups to convert it to bb30. I fitted them to a customers frame 6 months ago. Not sure if you can get them retail.

I purchased a Praxis. I see they do not have them anymore but the one I put on my SW Tarmac SL3 just had shims that took up the extra clearance.
