Im thinking of changing my groupset from ultegra to full sram red. Just wondering what bottom bracket i would require.. is it a gxp or a bb30? :?

    It'll be either GXP or Pressfit depending on which BB your CR1 has.

    Hmm. That's the problem.. I'm not sure. Bought the frame from westbrooks and it was supplied with the frame..

    When I bought my CR1 SL from them they fitted a BB86 adaptor so I could continue to run my GXP SRAM crankset (force in this case). Cost @ 25 quid as I recall. Has run fine with it ever since being originally built up.

    My CR1-SL came from Westbrooks with a Shimano Press-fit BB installed in the BB86 shell. Which was fine because I use Shimano cranksets and like to swap them occasionally.

    If you've been running Ultegra I Imagine you have the same?

    Do you have the Red groupset yet? If not, you need to make sure you get the crankset that will be compatible with your BB shell. Don't think the BB30 version will fit.

    If your CR1 has a pressfit BB you'll require a SRAM GXP pressfit BB... Not an adaptor, these are available at CRC for about £24. I had the same frame.
