[Closed] Numpty Crankset Question

Hi,

After a lot of faff with Ebay, the police and the insurance company I now have my stolen 2010 Kona Sutra back.

This has the FSA Omega crankset with a FSA MegaExo bottom bracket.

In its time away with the scallies the pre-load bolt on the left crank went missing and the crank spines got mangled. Even with a new pre-load bolt installed there is still play in the crank arm.

My numpty question is if I ditch the FSA crank for Tiagra 4503 or Sora 3403, do I need a Shimano bottom bracket, or will they run in the MegaExo?

Thanks,

Rob.

It's good you got your bike back 🙂

I *think* MegaExo isn't a 24mm standard BB so you'd need a new BB too.

[Edit] after a quick google I now think I was wrong and you'll be ok.

it was a somewhat less than definitive answer, sorry.

It wasn't a facetious "thanks".

Grateful for all input.
