Hi - I have a 2017 CAADX as a winter bike and I am looking to swap out the Chainset. Bike came with a FSA 46/36 and want to swap out for a 50/34.
I have a FSA Gossomer Chainset that I took off a Boardman Team Hybrid a few years back - would this fit straight on ? If not, what would i need for it to fit and/or what would i need to be able to fit a Shimano Chainset? Thanks

    Have you considered just stopping the chain rings for a 50 and a 34?

    Yes - The gossamer Chainset has a BCD of 110mm but the omega cx Chainset says 120/90 're BCD? I am guessing therefore that the gossamer chain rings will not be compatible with the omega crankset ?

    Sorry, I meant to suggest that you considered buying new FSA chain rings to fit.
