[#4268953]

This may be a silly question, but I have to ask anyway, is there anyway to fit a BB30 chainset in to a standard threaded frame?

Can't you just return them?

[url= http://www.starbike.com/php/catalogue.php?lang=en&manufacturer=THM-Carbones#8533f45f86da137ca2f0e8067eb487bf ]This[/url] BB may work (not honestly sure), Claviculas have a 30mm axle, dunno if it's the same spec as BB30 though.

Or... just send them back and get some more reliable cranks.

Na haven't got them yet, they will be comming on my new bike and i'm changing it to a triple (I have my reasons so don't want to start a double v triple debate 😉 )

So should get £350 for them (as new only fitted)

You can fit some BB30 cranks to a threaded frame- it depends if the axle is long enough. Use a Rotor or E13 bb.

£350? Reckon you'll be lucky! Can get XTR for that, with a warranty.

Hang on, you have some bb30 cranks coming on a new bike? And you want to use a triple on the frame that came with bb30 cranks and therefore a bb30 shell? You can put ht2 style cranks on a bb30 frame. Or are you swapping the fsa bb30s onto another frame?

BB386Evo makes all this simpler. I think. But that's not BB30

Sorry it's a pressfit 30 from one of [url= http://www.whytebikes.com/2013/product.php?xProd=48&xSec=67 ]these[/url] bikes

God know what a Pressfit 30 is, I guess it's the same as bb30?

Still confused with this...

Will a FSA Pressfit30 chain-set work with a standard threaded BB shell (or what ever it's called (whats on an On-One 456 frame))?

The bike said I can replace the BB to make it fit?

but I'm not convinced...

According to the blurb on CRC, those FSA cranks have a 24mm axle, which means they should therefore fit in a standard (Shimano) threaded BB?

But the FSA website says it's a 30mm axle (that's why it's called BB30) who would you rather believe CRC or FSA?

If its a bb30 chainset then you can fit it to a threaded bb shell

You need new cups from enduro or e13 (there mave be others?)

I'm running bb30 chainset from e13 in a salsa frame with a threaded bb shell
