OK so i have grabbed a bargain carbon frame (after much deliberation) and it has come with a SRAM PF30 to BSA adapter. I was of the opinion that i can fit Shimano 105 5800 cranks straight in.

Upon receiving the frame and looking at the adapter, something doesn't look right, obviously i don't know if i'm just seeing things or its because i want to use Shimano in a SRAM adapter thats throwing me.

Could some kind person (reliably) confirm that Shimano 105 cranks will indeed fit straight in?

TIA

    They wont fit, the SRAM has a smaller diameter on the NDS
    I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles

    In a pressfit to BSA adapter you can fit any crank that fits BSA, including Shimano.
    If a SRAM BB is fitted, you'll have to change that for a Shimano BB.

    There is no BB fitted just the adapater. Hopefully that means good news.

    Yes that's good.
    Doesn't matter what brand the adapter is a.o. Praxis makes them too.
    Obvious the BB's of Shimano and SRAM are different.
