Anyone know if Sora HT2 chainsets come with the bottom bracket?

Cheers.

    It depends who you buy it from really, no definitive answer.

    they should do as the bb Axle is part of the crankset so needs the cups and bearings. the cups and bearings are available sperate as they are disposable.

    If the seller does not state then ask.

    If you see 2 codes it will do. If you go through Madison, the 2 things are separate codes. Only the saint i think comes with the bb included as standard.

    It's specifically the road cranksets.

    I'm assuming a £30 Sora HT2 from Parkers won't include it...

    You'll only get the integrated crankset for the £30 - you won't get the Cups aswell - they cost around £15 separately. I'm currently looking at either the new Sora one you mention, or for a fiver more the Tiagra HT2 One.

    Road ones don't come with cups, as there's a choice between English and Italian thread. The Sora won't come with cups.

    strange chris all the ones in the shop have them included. I was only going through them the other day.

    Old stock? or just different out here?

    Might be different for the Swedish market, but none of them do here.

    just been thinking about it, and i think i was told when asking for the bb's he said "i have put them in the crank boxes".

    one thing i am sure of he only gets the Italian cups into order we have an old Italian bb that has been there for years..

    also looking on U.P. i see that they do not include them.
