ive just grabbed an mrp camber crank, took my FSA one out, put the new one in and it appears to be too short,but my old FSA crank came with a mega ego BB, this new one claims i need a 24mm (Shimano Hollowtech) external BB , so am i to replace mine with a shimano hollowtech type ?
im completely lost here guys, and dont know how to fit my new camber crank, it says that It can be used with any standard 24mm (Shimano Hollowtech) external BB, so is that my problem ?
many thanks in advance.
ive already tried removing the one spacer that was there and its made no difference.
There are two types of mega exo.
The same as shimano,raceface,hope etc.
And the mega exo quad. There are 2 bearings in each cup and twice as wide as the shimano offering.
Only FSA cranks work with these
so i DO need a shimano hollotech ?

That's a mega exo quad. Note the cup size.
If yours look like that then only FSA cranks will fit.
no mine dont look like that, but its almost as if the bearings on mine are too shallow to properly accommodate the shaft.
im completely LOST
i just dont know what BB i should buy other than the hollowtech ive already mentioned ?
You need a new bottom bracket. A Shimano HT2 (or equivalent). Just like it says in the instructions for your cranks.
thank you kindly, i can now go and buy something, my old one was 2nd hand a year ago anyway so im pleased, would this be acceptable ?
