GXP / BB30

Kieran_Burns

Are they interchangeable?

Looks like my research into an alternate chainset for the Felt may have gone awry...

the bike comes with a BB30 and (although I checked) I got a GXP chainset.

I hope this doesn't have to go back

problem solvers do some spacers that allow BB30 bearings to be used with 24mm axle cranks.

they are about your only option.

if you had shimano cranks i would have said the KCNC BB30 to shimano crank fit BB.

I should add that it is a complete set including Bottom Bracket. I *think* all I need is the right tool to get the clamps off. I think.

? clamps.

oh you can also get a press fit sleeve to bond into the BB 30 to make it BSA thread only.

Kieran_Burns

clamps? Where did that come from? I meant cranks!

Thats what happens when your a CX riding perv KB, even talking bike bits you swap in your pervy bedroom/dungeon faves without thought......

I'm going to have to return the chainset and get another one. Only problem is: it's £100 more expensive!!!

IIRC you were changing it to a compact from a CX chainset? Are the pcd's different so you can't just change the rings?

Looked at that - the inner ring looks integrated to the crank

Although looking at it again makes me think I am talking censored ... going to have a go in the morning.

Kieran_Burns

and that worked.

Swapped the rings over and adjusted the front mech. All sorted and I now have a compact chainset on the bike

Now put the rings you don't want on the other crankset and sell complete and unused on Ebay.

Kieran_Burns

fine idea - probably try the classified on here first. Thanks to all for listening to my frustration!
