I've ordered a road frame that says its a pressfit bottom bracket.
I've also found a BB30 road chainset at a decent price.
Is there anything else I need to know about the two or is this a match made in heaven?
This whole pressfit thing (BB30, BB90, BB92, BB394230349) makes me dizzy. 😯
lunch bump... 🙂
BB30 isnt press fit
Press fit is BB86 on road and BB90 on MTB
BB30 is a totally different width of shell and the axle is 30mm not 24ish mm
What frame is it?
Ive got a Press fit and it needed a BB86 BB and it wont take a BB30 chainset.
You can also get press fit bb30, what frame is it?
oh tits.
its this [url= http://www.bike-discount.de/shop/k304/a58943/r1-frame-white.html ]Radon R1 frame[/url] I've emailed bike-discount to ask whether a BB30 would fit but no reply yet.
Not sounding good!
what frame is it?
Giant/Scott run BB86 which use a standard chainset
Any BB30 frame is different and needs a BB30 chainset.
and [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=51168 ]this chainset[/url] 😥
Well it doesn't specifically say BB30 in the blurb, so I'd be tempted to guess it was BB86.
Well, I did also order [url= http://www.bike-discount.de/shop/a59872/bb86-road-press-fit-bottom-bracket.html ]this BB86 BB[/url] with the frame as a backup plan, it says 24mm spindle on the cups in the picture so would that work with a hollowtech II?
should probably cancel the order for the controltech then.... 😕
it's BB86
the Radon bikes give you the clue ;o)
The R1 4.3 runs a Shimano chainset so can't be BB30 as Shimano don't make one.
yep 24mm is HT2 size
AAh, thanks for that!
So I should be OK with the BB86 i've ordered then?
Is it just me being daft or is all this new pressfit stuff confusing?!?

Not necessarily - adaptors are relatively easy to get. However, I'd expect this frame will be BB86 - any Shimano (or compatible) cranks will work.

Sorted (I think). Cancelled the controltech and spotted a 105 in the pricedrop for £53 so snapped that up instead.
Just hope it'll work with the FSA BB! 😕
