If I buy a Trek Madone with a BB90 will I be able to fit a std 53*39 Shimano 7800 chainset to it or will I need adapters, pls?

    Aside from omitting the cups, the BB90/95 setup is functionally identical to conventional threaded bottom brackets, in that it uses the same bearings and the same bearing locations as before. Crankset compatibility is thus unchanged, although you do lose the ability to run chain guides that sandwich between the driveside cup and frame
