They use the same bearing with generally crappy seals but have a different
frame interface and different BB shell bore sizes. If you want more
information than that, I'll be happy to nerd out on this subject.

wondering in PF 30 and "BB 30" are the same thing? if not, what is the
difference? I have BB30 on my cross bike, BB bearings are fairly open to
the elements and need a lot of maintenance, thanks for your help,,,,,,
