Why would the added pressure trash the BB? In my recollection it's just a question of how hard the crank is attached to the spindle, and that shouldn't affect how the spindle rotates in the bb bearings
The FSA Gossamer got rid of that pinch bolt. The pinch bolt is the weakness of the older Gossamer. Here is a pic of the 2016 FSA Gossamer that has no pinch bolt. Bolts directly on without that frikin pinch bolt that was a problem on my 2010. No problems with this crank which was surprising so far so good.
