[Closed] BSA30/RaceFace Cinch BBs

Always been a fan of Shimano cranks and BBs but some RF ones came up cheap so I now need a 30mm BB for my threaded frame.

I've heard worrying things about RF BB longevity so was thinking Hope but that's 90 quid by the time I've bought the tool.

RF would come to £45 with the tool and if/when the bearings die I can buy a pair of stainless bearings for £15.

Is there another option or does that make sense?

Raceface ones always used to be terrible but the pressfit one I've got has outlived my low expectations... It might actually turn out to be OK!

I did see the rotor one but it comes to the same as the RF one and apparently needs spacers to work, so no real advantage
