Orbea bottom bracket/chainset advice needed.
Hello all,
I have been riding my Orbea Onix ttg 2012 model for a few months now and have been looking to upgrade the chainset. It is fitted with 105 mechs so i originally thought about a 105 chainset but i really like the FSA models to match my seatpost and stem. However being a fairly new cyclist I am unsure about bottom bracket types and sizes etc. :?
Does anyone know 1. what bottom bracket is fitted to my bike as the spec on the website doesn't say.
2. which, if any, bottom bracket would i need if i fit either an FSA SL-K light carbon chainset
or an FSA SLK-PRO chainset.
If anyone could recommend any other chainset upgrade options i would be considered and much appreciated.
Many Thanks

There is an FSA cross reference chart here. Most likely your frame has 68mm English BB.
Just wondering, why is the crankset the first thing you want to upgrade?0 -
I have upgraded the wheels to Eastons, brakes to 105, tyres to ultremos, saddle to fizik and the cables to jagwire, the chainset is next on the list. to be honest I wanted something a bit lighter to reduce overall weight and also black to match the brakes and rest of the groupset just to tidy things up a bit.0
