BB30 options?

jonrb101

I'm building up a bike around a frameset with BB30 bottom bracket shell. At the moment, I can't afford to buy a new BB30 specific crank and want to use an FSA Gossamer crank with standard external type BB. I understand I can either buy a threaded press fit sleeve to take any BB or buy standard BB bearings and adaptors for the FSA crank.

Can anyone please advise which is the best option? what parts I would need and where to get them?

Cheers

Jon

If you use the sleeve I understand it will be quite tricky to remove, special tools and potential for some damage if not done properly. I'd go for using the BB30 bearings with some sort of adaptor possibly like these?

I'm looking to sell my FSA gossamer BB30 crank compact so PM me if you'd be interested
