Paul Ruinaard Posted May 23, 2013 Share Hi, I have a new frame which has a press fit BB, a specialized as above. The question I have is can you get a BB or an adapter that allows you to fit a normal external BB Shimano crank, or do I need to buy a new crank as well?

NotSoBigBen Posted May 23, 2013 Share Yes I use a 'normal' external BB XT crankset, it's just a different BB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G00SE Posted May 23, 2013 Share Yes I use a 'normal' external BB XT crankset, it's just a different BB! What he said I went from ext BB to press fit BB on my trek, and just moved the crank over. No Problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mob Posted May 23, 2013 Share get the Pressfit 90 BB - same as pressfit 30 but with a 24mm spindle. Big Wheel Cycles 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mob Posted May 23, 2013 Share Specialized actually make adapters that they send with their cranks, but the pressfit BB's are stiffer and easier to use and way lighter than an adapter plus plate plus a screw in set of cups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bike Mob Posted May 23, 2013 Share oh and you can service the beaings in a pressfit just like an external rebuild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
