Felt Dispatch bottom bracket and crank replacement

t0ph0id

I'm hoping someone can help, I need to replace the bottom bracket and crank set on my felt dispatch, can someone suggested a reasonable replacement?

Could I use a Sram gxp or Shimano Hollowtech II here?

Also probably a new chain is required.

Specs in the BR review suggest FSA chainset with square taper BB. That indicates that the frame will take a standard threaded bottom bracket so you could easily change to a Shimano Hollowtech chainset if you wish.

BB you need is this:-

You just need to check if it's standard English or Italian threaded

Thereafter you need to work out which Shimano chainset you need

Thanks, it's English as it's 68mm.

What should I look out for with the chainset? Chainline? Does it matter that it has a thicker singlspeed chain? Does the chainring need to be different because of that?

For example could I use this one, which comes with the BB?
