Supreme DH V3 press fit BB

Hey all.
From day one I have had issues finding parts for this new frame. Commencal were useless giving me the wrong part number for the bb which is a bit worrying. Anyway mountain trax in Surrey found me one that fitted but it is a standard shimano which lasted a bit but now I need a good upgrade. The problem is no one really knows which size is needed. I have saint m810 cranks which are hollow 2 tech. Please if anyone knows a press fit that will fit and is better than a shimano £30 standard.
Cheers All

You can get shimano or raceface press fit BB's from CRC or wiggle.

Shimano make great bottom brackets for the money they are hard to beat
Superstar however......... (nearly destroyed my Ti frame when the casing of one split and got stuck inside the frame, the bearings lasted about 3 months too)
Raceface bearings are not great either, unless they have improved recently
