Hi.

I've got a 6 month old/ 1000miles '2015-16 BTWIN 540 which came with a prowheel ounce 721 crankset (http://pro-wheel.com/main/?portfolio=ounce-721c-tt I think ), including a bottom bracket.
I "think" the bottom bracket is on it's way out, and as it's my commuter bike and I don't have a working N+1, I'm building a largish spares box.

Therefore I'm looking to grab another BB now in prep - is there any reason I can't transpose a Shimano Tiagra 4700 Bottom Bracket in ? Or is it a full crankset swap out?

Thanks in advance.

    No you could get the Tiagra bottom bracket or better still for about the same price get the 6800 one @ about £11

    Assuming your Prowheel crank has a 24mm spindle, then you can use a Shimano HT2 BB.

    Thanks. not seen the 6800 at 11 though, went halfrauds at 15.99 less BC discount.

    I guess i'll have to take it out and check. THanks!

    For those of interest - Yes, this works.
