Are they interchangeable?

Looks like my research into an alternate chainset for the Felt may have gone awry...

the bike comes with a BB30 and (although I checked) I got a GXP chainset.

I hope this doesn't have to go back :cry:

    problem solvers do some spacers that allow BB30 bearings to be used with 24mm axle cranks.

    they are about your only option.

    if you had shimano cranks i would have said the KCNC BB30 to shimano crank fit BB.

  • I should add that it is a complete set including Bottom Bracket. I *think* all I need is the right tool to get the clamps off. I think.

    ? clamps.

    oh you can also get a press fit sleeve to bond into the BB 30 to make it BSA thread only.

  • clamps? Where did that come from? I meant cranks!

    Thats what happens when your a CX riding perv KB, even talking bike bits you swap in your pervy bedroom/dungeon faves without thought......

    I'm going to have to return the chainset and get another one. Only problem is: it's £100 more expensive!!!

    IIRC you were changing it to a compact from a CX chainset? Are the pcd's different so you can't just change the rings?

    Looked at that - the inner ring looks integrated to the crank :cry:

  • and that worked.

    Swapped the rings over and adjusted the front mech. All sorted and I now have a compact chainset on the bike :D

    Now put the rings you don't want on the other crankset and sell complete and unused on Ebay.
  • fine idea - probably try the classified on here first. Thanks to all for listening to my frustration!
