Bigger BB spindle is going, (or can be), stiffer, and bearings are somewhat better protected inside the BB shell. However; the bearings are narrower in stance, (closer together) and what you gain in spindle stiffness from an oversized spindle, you give away a bit with the bearing placement. I think Pressfit 30 is actually a bit better, and the BB92/BB86 are also better from this standpoint. Ideally, I think a wider stance bearing, bigger spindled, bigger bearing BB, (which doesn't exist as yet), would actually be better, but would cause a big shift in the way things are done with regards to frames. @scsamoyan: Personally, I would say it is a step in the right direction.

So, yes- you will feel some flex. Remember though: NOT ALL FLEX IS BAD. ;) You'll have to decide for yourself what you think of it. Personally, I would like "the right kind of flex" versus no flex at all in my bicycle. @Scsamoyan: Well, the reason a lot of people like titanium frames in the first place is because they do flex.
