Hi ya,
Another bb has lasted less than 6 months and @ £40 a time i'm getting a bit bored of it!
Is there an alternatives / cheaper options ???
p.s. need a FSA Bottom Bracket Gossamer Mega Exo
MTB or road??
On the MTB I had an FSA on my Comet chainset and switched it for a Shimano Hollowtech 2 one (took a bit of a tapping to get in)
Tried a Hollowtech 2 on the road bike for my Mega Exo BB and it didn't fit (I was told it would fit).
Depends on the crank, IIRC some are a fraction of a mm bigger/smaller, think it depended whether the cranks were carbon/alloy and whether the axles were alloy or steel, but it's only fractions of a mm. So some are a tigh fit, others loose, some perfect.
So officialy, only the correct FSA BB will fit, unofficialy Shimano (or anything else RaceFace, hope, token, Chris king) might fit/work.
I've not had any problems with my FSA cranks (on the road bike).
it's for the road bike, I tried a 105 bb and couldn't 'persuade' the axel in! sound like another fsa maybe the only way.
thanks anyway
