Bottom Brackets -- BB30 Shell Hollowtech2 cranks.
So,it looks like my frame is going to be replaced by the manufacturer, however it looks like they've changed bottom bracket standard.
Current bike has an english threaded botom bracket and I'm running Shimano Ultegra 6800.
Looks like new frame has BB30.
So whats my options these days????
Wheels manufacturing shims the best or something else?
Also, Felt AR frame set, guessing it wont come fitted with a bottom bracket

I have used a KCNC adaptor to do this job. An excellent solution IMHO.0

I have some Wheels Manufacturing BB30 to Shimano 24mm adapters for sale your interested. Not used much but they were faultless when i did. I'll throw in a pair of bb30 bearings for free with them.0

Cheers for the suggestions, getting more and more confused!!!
Could be interested trailflow... depends on how much. Would I pressfit the bearings in first then push in the adaptors???
found this on chain reaction, would this work?

We are going on holiday next week and I was hoping to take all the bits to do the build. Frame should arrive Friday so it's a bit of guess work

I used the KCNC adapter on my Cannondale in the past. Easy to fit and problem free.

This one may or may not work dependent on your frame as it requires it to be a constant diameter all the way through with no intrusions. Would not fit on my CAADX.0 -

Yes you need to press the bearngs in. i also sell a home made tool. You might also need to install 2 BB30 circlips inside the shell first. To stop the bb30 bearings sliding too far into the shell. Thats if the frame doesnt come with them.
The adapters slide into the bb30 bearings by hand no tools needed.
The adapters are selling for £27 on wiggle. i'd like £18 posted ? + £4 for the press tool.0 -

To fit one of these, do you just use 2 Shimano Bottom Bracket tools??0 -
I managed to do it with one by holding one side with hand and I am not a gorilla.☺0
