Can anyone confirm if a Force BB30 will work with a Tiagra drivetrain?
The CAAD9 Tiagra compact gets a BB30 frame so I was planning to upgrade with a DA 9 spd cassette, Ultegra rear mech and a BB30 chainset....the SRAM Force chainset looks to be the best option but wanted to know if the ramps/pins with work with 9 speed chains.

Cheers

    It'll be fine, albeit overkill for tiagra

    Cool.
    It's part of the upgrade plan you see.
    I'll eventually swap to SRAM so I'll have the Force chainset and BB bearings on there already.
    The 105 CAAD9 gets a FSA gossamer BB30 chainset but at way over 900 odd grams it'll be no better than my Tiagra so I opted for the Tiagra via the CTW scheme.
    Got a set of light wheels, tyres/tubes to go on it and the chainset will save another big chunk of weight.
