GutterHugger Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 Will my 2008 Sram Force crankset fit into my existing Ultegra BB? My existing BB is Italian and the new crank's BB (still on it's way to me) is English....
amoryns Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 I asked this question last week and the gurus all said yes....it will work! Think the BB might just have to be changed!
101% Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 No ! Shimano BB won't work with Sram Crank set . They look very similar but theres a slight difference .
101% Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 I asked this question last week and the gurus all said yes....it will work! Think the BB might just have to be changed! Your question wasn't the same. You asked if Sram STI's would work with Shimano derailers...Yes it will work.101%2008-01-17 23:51:43
amoryns Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 o oeps sorry...ok...luister vir 101%...hulle is die gurus...
ewep Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Gutter, that's one of the reasons why I didn't even look at the SRam stuff when I upgraded recently. The Colnago is also Italian thread and no-one could give me advice.
GutterHugger Posted January 18, 2008 Author Posted January 18, 2008 Ok, ek sal luister! Thanks for the help 101%... en hey Amoryns dankie vir jou input!

ewep Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 GH, no-one could point me in the right direction. Spoke to quite a few LBS' in and around GP but to no avail. A lot said Shimano, other said I'll be mad for putting SRam on a Colnago and 3000 other excuses. In the end not one could give me a simple "buy this one" type answer.
GutterHugger Posted January 18, 2008 Author Posted January 18, 2008 Tnx ewep, sounds like it's going to be a "trial and error" exercise for me...
ewep Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 GH, unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) I've already gone the Campy way. But please let me know what you find. What SRam grouppo did you order though?
GutterHugger Posted January 18, 2008 Author Posted January 18, 2008 ewep, Campy's great. I'm getting the 2008 Force Carbon Compact to go onto the Merckx Alu Team I aquired from Jules.
wendfan Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Truvativ GXP BB should work with SRAM and is available with Italian thread. Question is if they stock it locally?
madmarc Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Will my 2008 Sram Force crankset fit into my existing Ultegra BB? My existing BB is Italian and the new crank's BB (still on it's way to me) is English.... I don't know much about shimano "Other than it's a load of cheap junk" But I do know the difference between English thread and Italian thread. and English thread cup will not fit in an Italian thread because the pitch is different.
Troi Sport Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Italian Thread - Armani British Thread - Alexander McQueen very VERY different, if not incompatible.Shamus2008-01-18 09:20:37
quinton Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 Truvativ GXP BB should work with SRAM and is available with Italian thread. Question is if they stock it locally? Truvativ and SRAM are supplied by the same holding company - Not sure if they are manufactured by the same company
