Holowtech II Compatible?

I'm interested in this chainset; http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/sp/ro...ad-Sram-Red-Black-10-Spd-Chainset/SRAMCHAR215
Am I right in thinking this is for use with HTII style bearing cups?

No. It's only compatible with GXP bottom brackets. Similar to HT2, but not the same. HT2 won't work.

There are cheap GXP bottom brackets from SRAM and Truvativ or there's a ceramic GXP that's quite expensive. The latest generation cheap GXP bottom brackets are good and last long enough. I think you can also use a Hope bottom bracket with some kind of converter.

Thanks for that. So if I got the SRAM chainset, and a GXP BB, and an adapter I could fit these to my BB30 frame?

I'm afraid I know nothing about BB30.
