T47 Bottom bracket on a Cielo Racer Disc 2017 Chris King says the solution for creaky press-fit bottom brackets is good old-fashioned threads.  Here, we have 3 types, the ThreadFit24 (BSA) the ThreadFit30 (For BSA to Oversized spindles) and the latest Open standard, T47 (Basically a PF30 with Threads)The intention of the T47 is to provide an oversize bottom bracket shell for compatibility with many crank axle variants, and generous real-estate for oversized frame tubes (light, stiff, etc.), but with a quiet and user-friendly threaded cups.The "open" standard means anyone can use it.

February 16, 2017 – Ogden, Utah, USA – ENVE is pleased to announce a completely redesigned Smart ENVE System (SES) 3.4 in both rim brake and disc brake models. Originally launched in 2011, the SES 3.4 was introduced to the aftermarket as a “climbing wheel with an aero advantage.” Once introduced, the SES 3.4 gained rapid acceptance by cyclists of all abilities and quickly established itself as the best-selling wheelset in ENVE’s lineup.  ENVE’s latest SES 3.4 builds upon its heritage as a climbing wheel with aero attributes, but takes a more holistic approach to refine performance in all terrain and weather conditions.  The new SES 3.4...

More specifically, they’re the result of pioneering legwork in the aero-plus segment of the industry. The DI.A crew rode the SES wheelset on a myriad of bikes, each time reaching the same conclusion: across the board, the bikes accelerate quicker, rode with more agility, and were less susceptible to crosswinds (when compared to other similar wheels tested)....
