FSA K-Force Light bottom bracket alternatives
This is probably a longshot but thought I'd mine the vast knowledge of the BR Forum before doing something extreme:
I have an FSA K-Force Light crankset and FSA BB-8200 bottom bracket. The BB is a BSA threaded, external-bearings type.
The bottom bracket needs replacing.
My problem is that BB-8200 bottom brackets are prohibitively expensive, ie roughly 10X the cost of a Dura Ace equivalent.
Does anyone know of a compatible alternative bottom bracket for an FSA K-Force Light crankset?

I have a Hope BSA BB which works fine - I've had several Yorkshire winters use out of it and it is still smooth as butter. The crank arms are now a bit scratched and battered though....FFS! Harden up and grow a pair

Any of the cheaper MegaExo BBs should do, doesn't have to be the absurdly-expensive K-force ceramic one..0

The plastic bike has a K Force crank in a b/b that used to have an Ultegra crank, so anything that fits a Shimano crank which will leave you a million options.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

Thanks for the responses. Will prob try a cheaper Shimano and, if that works out, eventually upgrade to a Hope BB.0
