Hi all,

I have a 2016 Felt F75 with 105 11 speed on it.
I'm starting a new project and taking bits off another bike.

I want to change the Felt F75 set up and fit it with a SRAM Red 10 speed system I have spare.
The only hurdle is the chainset.
I am happy keeping the current external cup threaded BB which I believe would be a 68mm English thread.
I just need an idea for a chainset that will cope with 10 speed and the BB I currently have.
The chainset should ideally be FSA or SRAM.

Thanks all.

    I don't think you need to be too worried, virtually any double chainset will work with your sram setup.

    I did a similar thing fitting 10sp red to my colnago and found a new Sram red chainset at planetx for £150 so I went with that, but I had to buy a GXP bb as well.

    You could use your existing 105 chainset, I bought one of those for £32.50 at Merlin over Christmas and use it with a force22 front mech, rival wifly rear mech and 10sp apex shifters. Shifts perfectly.

    You could buy this, it's been on sale for a while and he's dropped the price over and over:

    £90 Sram red chainset.

    Cool.
    I'll try the existing chainset then as it has the Compact rings and correct crank arm length for the set up I'm looking for.
    I wasn't sure with Shimano as I've not used it for many years prior to getting my Felt bike.
    Always been a SRAM Red man.
    Hopefully the rings are N10/11 compatible then.
    No harm in trying. :D
