That linked product is for the wrong frame and wrong spindle (sorry that was your spindle I was thinking of) from what the OP is after though?

I haven’t used that FSA BB but their stuff is generally good and I can’t see it being a problem for the usage described.

Though - Don’t the 30mm spindles end up with pretty thin bearings in a shell designed for 24mm? I remember someone made one with dual bearings on both sides to extend the bearing life. Looking at that diagram again, looks like they have double races on this one in fact. For recreational use maybe ok but I’d be tempted to change crank.
