Oh, ok. I misunderstood. The PF30 crank should work with the CAAD10 and BB30 bearings. PF30 frames have 46mm shells to accommodate the PF30 cups. BB30 shells are 42mm, but becuase the bearings press directly into the frame, the bearings in the two systems are the same. So your PF30 crank with 30mm spindle shouldn’t care whether you’re using it with a PF30 frame or a BB30 frame.
I am really surprised that you were able to push the bearings out of the CAAD10 frame withnthe crank spindle and reinstall it by tightening the cranks. I have a CAAD10 and it takes some serious banging to get the bearings out once they are pressed in correctly, and a good amount of pressing to get them seated correctly.They fit in the frame shell pretty tight.
You should press in the bearings with a bearing press. I would be concerned that just tightening the crank down wouldn’t be enough to fully seat the bearing into the frame. They need to be flush up against the c-clips inside the frame and they need to be in there straight.
