Hello Gents

 

Im hoping for first hand advice with regard to installing a Campy Record crank to a SWorks Roubaix SL3 frame with BB30 (or similar Spez).

 

The bike is full on Record excepting for the crank which currently is SWorks.

 

Seems like 3 options/

* Campy 42mm BB30 adaptor cups

* Specialized adaptors

* Press in alloy sleeve that regresses BB30 to an English threaded BB

 

Watched a You Tube video where they installed a Press In sleeve and died a thousand deaths watching the forcing and effort required to eventually seat it!

 

Could anyone with first hand experience possibly offer some advice as to which the most effective hassle free method would be?

 

Many thanks

Is the Roubaix pressfit BB30 (no circlip retaining the bearing) or straight BB30 (allie bb housing with a circlip retaining a bearing which fits straight into the frame)? Sounds like the former so you can use the Campy adapters or you can get a Sram adapter (Pressfit BB30 to BSA adapter). For the former, Campy make straight BB cups.

I've used them all, including the press-in sleeve (with loctite). It isn't actually so bad if you use the special drive tool and a proper BB press-fitting tool.
