edited December 2009 in Road buying advice
trying to get more information about if this product is sold as a separate component, or only when you buy the bike it is fitted to.
i am looking for BB30 and 34-50 spec.

any inside knowledge on where this component is available separately would be appreciated.

    I'd recommend having a look on the weightweenies forum, there was a thread on there recently about this. Apparently they are available seperately (at a cost!), but the waiting time (in the US at least) is currently 6 months. I did see one on ebay at the weekend, but I don't think it was bb30.

    They are available seperately from C'dale.

    However, £700...

    thats alright. i am selling 3 bikes to pay for it so i think i'm worth it :roll:
  • a guy on ebay in US to sell the carbon SI Compact had about a dozen new ones on his listing, I paid £75 for mine, they were £499 on chainreaction cycles. That came without the axle though which I didn't neeed because I had a CAAD8 at the time with the standard chainset already fitted.

    That was 2 years ago don't remember who he was though.

    Incidently they are made FSA as far as I'm aware,

    FSA used make the cheaper inferior BB30 cranksets for Cannondale, Cannondale always made the better BB30 cranksets themselves.
