BB30 Question

I have read a number of threads on this and I still cant seem to find a definitive answer

I am looking at a new frame, it has a BB30 shell.

I am looking to put a new groupset on it, campy chorus or similar. Do I have to buy a BB30 specific crankset or will the cranks that come with the groupset be ok with an adapter, although I have heard these are creaky and need to be stripped out regularly.

    yes you have a number of options, after market reducers or the kit that campy do to allow their cranks to work in a BB30 frame.

    no more creaky than BB30 cranks :wink:

    plenty of adaptors/BBs these days - wheel manu, praxis, rotor, see ebay too.
