Rotor 3DF & BB91 Compatibility

Gazzaputt

Anyone here have any idea if i can run Rotor 3DF (UBB30) with Shimanos BB91 press fit bottom bracket?

No mention of this size on Rotor's website but seen forum posts showing.

The 3DF is a 30mm axle where as the Shimano BB will be for 24mm axle so you can either get a new BB or get the standard Rotor 3D with a 24mm axle

So buying this will work?

Are you mulling over a Scott from Westbrooks?

LOL I am but I don't want to buy a new chainset.

I found a bottom bracket on Fudgecycles to fit the Scott but Westbrook tell me the CR1 cannot take a 30mm spindle.

Have a look on the last few pages of this thread (and maybe post there if it's not covered) as it's gone crazy with people snapping those frames up!

Scott uses BB86, or at least my Scott Addict does.

So this should work http://www.fudgescyclestore.com/index.php?p=190763 or maybe this one http://www.velotechservices.co.uk/shop/vclose2.asp?prd=76572&cat=7410001938

Give velotech a ring, they're the distributor for Rotor so should be able to tell you which BB you need.

Westbrook have the bottom bracket as a BB91 whatever that maybe. never used press fit so I'm in the dark here.

Purchase hinges on me being able to retain my Rotor chainset

Edit: Binning the idea. Found the bottom bracket but you need tools to do this or a trip to the LBS. Just adds extra cost. Oh well.
