2013 lapierre spicy 516 - Sram xx1

Tom Barton

To my horror my trusty 09 Lapierre spicy went in to the LBS for frame bearing replacements the other week (amongst a few other bits and bobs) and on taking the crank set off (which hasn't been off since beginning of autumn) the guys found a crack through the bottom bracket housing!!

Suffice to say that's the end of its riding days but in all fairness the LBS are pursing for a warranty replacement.

So ambivalence in as much as I will hopefully get a shiny new frame (and so they tell me a 2013 version in all likelihood).

As I'm now in the position I was thinking of upgrading the drivetrain to Sram XX1 as a friend can get trade prices through his work. The only thing is, what bottom bracket are the spicy's currently using - I cannot seem it see it stated in black and white anywhere and most pertinently - will a sram xx1 crank set fit in one of its guises.

Also - new forks, Fox 34 Floats or Talas or other?

Many thanks

Bottom Bracket : SHIMANO SMBB70

and as there is a GXP standardXX1 chainset available then the answer is yes, with the correct BB.
