Which chainset for bb30

weaty

Hi
I am looking at upgradeing the groupset on my caad 9 which has a bb30 bottom bracket. I would like something like an ultegra or sram force chainset, maybe an older 6700 ultegra, will these work with bb30 ?
Thanks for any help

Force (or Red), certainly have options for BB30.

Alternatively, get a BB30 adaptor and run whatever you want.

Does that mean removing the bb30 and replacing it with a different bb ?
Thanks

You can keep the BB30 bearings in the frame and then use an adapter (that slot into the bb30 bearings - very easy to install btw) then fit the 24mm Shimano Ultegra Chainset. i currently use these

or you can remove the BB30 bearings and then fit a full threaded conversion kit. So the shimano bottom bracket screws into it. Then fit the Ultegra chainset.

If you choose a BB30 chainset (like sram force) no adapters are needed. only the BB30 bearings already installed in your frame.

It's almost cliché, but have you considered Hollowgrams? Native BB30 and really nice.
