Hey so thought I'd ask on here as my googling is getting me confused.

I've picked up a cheap steel cx frame (charge filter) and I'm trying to build it as cheap as poss using scrounged bits.

I have a spare fsa bb30 crankset. The frame is a threaded 68mm shell that fits a standard shimano deore (is that hollow tech) bottom bracket.

My question, is there a threaded bottom bracket I can fit to use the bb30 crankset?

looks like the above may work. Never tried it myself.

Hope do various BB to fit different shells / cranks.

Will the axle be long enough?

@cynic-al

Goodoint, by eye looks like the axle won't be long enough with an external bb cup, so it either needs a no external cup bb which may not exist or I need a different crankset!
