Confused need advice on BB30 options

[Stevec047]

Check your spindle length to make sure it will be long enough.

Just checked and they are 84mm length

Not long enough then.

Honestly you're better off getting a cheap chainset for a square taper (or getting a replacement chainring (£6) for the current one) and sticking with the current BB. I can understand you wanting to use the FSA chainset 'because you've got it' but this is to set up a turbo bike, after all. If you like a challenge and spending money: crack on.

I have just got hold of a 105 crankset for £30 175 cranks and non compact chainrings which will do for the time being. Already have a Shimano BB sat in my spares box so will just go this route.

Yeah thats what I thought, will ditch this idea, just picked up a cheap 105 chainset which will do the job.

This is the best advice, it’s really not worth all the fart arsing around. A good used square taper crankset is not that expensive,
