Hi. Can i put a new SLX HT2 crankset and its BB on my new Anthem 2011? Presumably by first removing the pressfit BB first?

No it presumably won't be threaded.I don't do smileys.

Bit of a worry. What happens if i want to replace the crankset?0

Depends which it has, there are a few different standards.I don't do smileys.

I checked Giant's website but it just says 'Shimano press fit'. Not really confident enough to remove it to see.
I did however, look at Park Tools website and my interpretation was that the BB stays and the HT2 crankset just fits in as per normal. The reason I ask is I'm hoping to replace worn parts in the future to 10 speed and want to know what parts to get.0 -
Yes you can fit a Hollowtech II chainset to that frame. You will need to buy an additional BB though, the one that comes in the box won't fit.
Just had a look at the Giant website and the Anthem X all have Hollowtech II chainsets on them already.0 -
So am i right in thinking that the BB fitted to the bike right now would accept a HT2 crankset but the BB that comes with the crankset is no good and could be re-sold?
OR, does this mean I would need a another type of pressfit BB not the one that's on the bike at present or the one that comes in the box alongside the crankset?0 -
It should have a HT II crank on it already so putting an SLX on should be a straight swap. The BB in the box would be no use to you and yes you could sell it.0
