Just wondering if these are compatible... Don't want to get stuck with a nonstandard BB, looking at a set of Gravity Lights for the Last, entirely because they're white :mrgreen:

    Ish.

    FSA colour code their BBs to match the cranks. Shimano cups work but you may need to "adjust" things.

    These have a black BB, which looking around suggests it's a 24mm... Will probably be grinding off the granny tabs anyway since it'll only ever be single ring, so should help clearance as long as it's basically compatible. Looks like a goer?

    Gravity range so not 19mm. Ah what the heck, I'll buy it anyway. Cheers folks!
