Am i correct in thinking the Wheels Mfg BB for PF30 comes in two versions..a standard press in and a press in that screws together?

If so, does the screw together version require a specific tool, or does a Shimano bb tool work?

Thanks

You will need a 48.5mm tool like this -

In my experience if both types, the press fit version lasted twice as long. I put it down to the non-drive side having a slightly smaller diameter to allow it to be screwed into the frame.

I had a pressfit one and it lasted a year at most. Got a screw-in one now which has been faultless so far. But the faff in fitting it needing two of those tools - even the bike shop didn't have two, it was only because one of the part-time mechanics had a spare at home and thankfully lived just round the corner that they were able to fit the thing.
