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."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

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.Chunky Cyclists need your love too! :-)

oh you can also get a press fit sleeve to bond into the BB 30 to make it BSA thread only."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Thats what happens when your a CX riding perv KB, even talking bike bits you swap in your pervy bedroom/dungeon faves without thought......Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0

I'm going to have to return the chainset and get another one. Only problem is: it's £100 more expensive!!!Chunky Cyclists need your love too! :-)

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?0 -

Now put the rings you don't want on the other crankset and sell complete and unused on Ebay.0
