What is the best option for using a GXP crank (power meter I own already) on a BB30 frame (new frame I am getting)?
I’ve used this with great success.

This is what I have been using for the last few years and has worked well for me.

I may have one of the Praxis adapters mentioned below for sale. Excellent condition and ultra-low miles; I just ended up getting a “native” BB30 crank.
I’ll check tonight and reply back, if you’re interested.

Save yourself a lot of trouble. Just don’t get a BB30 frame.
I used the Rotor adapter with zero issues (Quarq power meter GXP to BB30), easy install.
nice thought. However not sure Felt would send me a different brand for warranty replacement…
Have you used Ceramic Speed for this on my S3 to run a GXP Crank. Not sure how much you are looking to spend, but I felt like it was money well spent when I made the purchase a few years back. No issues to date with it and still buttery smooth by just doing the basic grease of the BB 1-2x a year depending how much I ride and what the conditions are.

This. Same here - hasnt put a foot wrong in years.
I’ve used both the Praxis and Wheels Mfg offerings and both have been great. I think Praxis frowns on you changing the bearings on your own though.
I’m using that on a Slice, and I had to trim down some of the plastic around the adapter for it to stop rubbing. I don’t know if it was an alignment issue with the frame, or the adapter being wrong, or if I was missing some kind of washer. Either way, after trimming a mm or so off the adapter it works fine and I have no complaints. I think it creaked once, but a little regreasing and it was fine.
This Wheels Mfg complete bottom bracket solution has been the bees knees for me. Only regret is that I didn’t buy it sooner and dealt with plastic sleeve adapters and creaking, crappy BB30 bearings:

+1 for wheelsmfg. Great product.
+2 on this- I just put one in my MTB today.
PF30 to GXP- no adaptors or other funny business.

+8 (I think that’s the correct math) for the WheelsMFG BB. I have them on 3 bikes. I once had horrible creaking and swapped out the BB, nope, it was the Zipp wheel bearings (AGAIN).
