Alright lads...

So i've got a Slasa Spearfish frame. Today i removed the adaptors to fit HTII BB's and went to fit this crankset

http://www.merlincycles.com/bike-shop/mtb-parts/transmission-gears/chainsets-mtb/truvativ-aka-chainset-bottom-bracket.html

Now i incorrectly thought i had a BB30 frame.. It transpires i have a PF BB30 frame

http://salsacycles.com/culture/building_up_a_spearfish_frame/

So, i spent hours on phone to different places and one place are getting a Press fit BB30 bottom bracket in for me tomorrow. It's a 'rotor' model and is £45. Eeek !

However, reading more, i rekon the AKA Crankset is a 9 speed. Currently my chain is a Shimano 10 speed, as is my cassette.

So, assuming i get the PF-BB30 tomorrow, will my 10 speed chain/cassette work with these cranks?

There may be more questions tomorrow regarding installation instructions if the answer is yes...

Unless someone buys my Spearfish frame tonight and i buy a CUBE HT instead LOL.
