Anyone know if a shimano 105 bb fits a fsa gossamer pro crank with a 24 m&m axel?
When i die I just hope the wife doesn't sell my stuff for what I told her I paid for it other wise someone will be getting a mega deal!!!

    In theory they should but you tend to get issues with not using the correct FSA BBs.

    I've done it, it works - you might need to give the crank a firm 'nudge' to get it to seat properly.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    I'm currently using a Tiagra BB with a Gossamer MegaExo chainset on my CX bike, if that helps. Been using Shimano BBs for ages, no issues. As Monty says, it might need a firm nudge to push the axle through first time, but it works fine once fitted.

    I did it once, worked fine. I wouldn't do it again though as taking the chainset off again required more 'persuasion' than I was comfortable with.
