[#5989543]

Please help. Im attempting to hack a bike together with a 45650b frame from On-one and spare stuff ive already got plus the odd bit of fleabay etc as and when. It’s my first build, but going off past experience of shelling out for stuff that doesn’t fit or work i want to be sure this time.

Ive got Sram XO cranks that I’d like to use which were in a PressFit BB92. Can i use these in a standard BSA threaded BB? and what BB would you recommend?

also dubious about headsets. it says in the frame bumpf that the type required is a ZS44 EC44, my fork is a Fox 34 talas CTD tapered - again, any reccos?

cheers

Pretty sure the headset is the type for a 44mm headtube. Zero-stack upper, external cup lower.

A Chris King inset 7 for example or like this; http://www.evanscycles.com/products/m-part/elite-x44-headset-ec039857?utm_campaign=bazaarvoice&utm_medium=SearchVoice&utm_source=AskAndAnswer&utm_content=Default

Pressfit92 uses a 24mm axle so at a guess a standard GXP bottom bracket will work...don't quote me on that though!

For the BB you can use a SRAM GXP Threaded BB. It will fall apart. You can fit a hope with a GXP Adapter which will work.

All that is headsets explained
