I got a rather dumb question. Tubulars right? Is the glue compulsory? Or is it just for the extra safety?

IT HAS TO BE GLUED.

I am interested in PF86 or english thread cos my sram red crankset is GXP version. I would like to reuse what i have as  i am not keen to spend 1k plus for bb30 version. Not to mention heard about horror story about creaking in bb30 equiped bike. That why i am looking for bike that have normal english thread or pf86.
Caad 10 and Allez e5 still using bb30. Not PF30 as the spec written.

So for 5k budget should i get an alu bike like caad10/tcr slr or i better off with known carbon frames?
*
a good system should be built from a good base, then only u will have a trouble free application. what i'm trying to say is, bb30 frame is built around a stringent requirement, to ensure trouble free application. that means the frame shall be built to a high standard in order to receive a precise dimensioned bb30.

minimal tolerance, minimal creaking. that's what the tech write-ups say.

what pf86 does is, it accepts a frame built with less than precise manufacturing standard. i'm not sure how it does, maybe nylon cups to take up imperfections in the bb shell.

ultimately, i've never used any pressfit bbs. i've always used iso threaded. maybe i'm wrong about the pf86. maybe between bb30 vs pf86, u'd better be off with the latter.

as for the frame, maybe cannondale make their bikes to precise standard, since bb30 came from them. or maybe u should go with the giant, since u prefer pf86. either way, both are pressfits and they will creak.

Choices for RM5k bike are quite hard to satisfy my need for proper sized second racing bike sad.gif Is there current racingbike still use threarded bb other my Ti bike?

read this over a few times and really understand it.

http://www.bikeradar.com/road/gear/article...-brackets-38220

like it or not, we can say goodbye to major brands with threaded bb. so now, what to do with the pressfits. the article can guide u. and most important, get a reliable mechanic to prep the bb/frame
