I'm thinking of purchasing a shimano cx50 chainset from crc to go on my giant TCX.

However, it's got a press fit bb86 bottom bracket, which I know bugger all about! Is it as simple as knocking the old knackered one out, and fitting one of these:

And fitting the shimano chainset?

Cheers

It would appear from that, any standard Shimano hollow tech chainset wth integrated axle will dop straight in to a BB86 bottom bracket shell.

So different to BB30 which requires a BB 30 specific chainset.

Edit: sorry read our op again. Looks like the KCNC will work as would:
