Specialized S Works BB

Ulsterman

Hi, does anyone know if it is possible to fit Sram Red GXP Ceramic Chainset to a Specialized S Works bike?

schweiz

as long as the BB has an English thread, it will be OK

what bb is the s-works bike? if standard then yes, if it is one that can be adapted to standard then yes.

Ulsterman

Ta schweiz, It could be a Specialized pressed BB crankset (I think) already in there. If so will this mean there is no thread? Can it be adapted?
Ta for the reply

what year bike?

What S-Works is it ? Tarmac? Roubaix? and what year? I quickly checked on the Specialized website before I replied and they all seem to be threaded BB's. Being a US company they will use an English thread.

Hi, it's a 2011 S Works SL3. The reason I ask is that I was looking to put on the Sram Red Chainset with GXP to make the bike all Sram Red groupo. The chap I spoke to was saying that it was a pressed BB. Hence my question.

the Spesh website just says

Standard threaded bottom bracket.

Can't help more than that, sorry.

2011 S-Works SL3 has a standard threaded BB - not a press fit, so a GXP will fit fine.

schweiz, no worries ta to you and all for the replies.
