I recently bought a Giant Trance X 29er 2013 frame and Sram X0 2x10sp Crankset with BB30, is the BB30 compatible with this frameset if not which SRAM bottom is compatible?

    will not work the Giant set up requires a 24mm axeled Press fit set up IIRC.
    so pressfit GXP or shimano BB86 standard.

    check the diameter of the hole. it should be about 40-41mm

    What about the bottom bracket comes with Giant Trance X1 29er 2013 http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-au/bik ... 031/57332/. I'm planning to upgrade the whole groupset to X0. If I remove the SRAM S1000, 24/38 that comes with Trance X1 and installed the X0 2x10 crankset (http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... elID=80744) using the existing sram pressfit BB, will it work?
