Help with Bottom Bracket!!?

Hey everyone,

ive got a dolan pre-cursa frame and im going to order the new miche pistard 2.0 crankset (unless its a bad decision?) But i dont know what bottom bracket to buy along with it?

i dont know the difference between the miche evo max 68x42 and 68x46, so any help would be massively appreciated!!

Thanks!

miche evo max 68x42 and 68x46.

Quick reading point that they're for BB30, where did you read that these bottom brackets is for the new Miche chainset?

i'd ignore it and go for the Sram Omnium, which come with a bottom bracket if you want that external bottom bracket lark.

Those are the pressfit BB shell dimensions aren't they - you'll probably want the BSA thread BB for a pre-cursa.

Found the spec sheet;

Evo Max 36x24tpi (ITA) - 1,370x24tpi (BSA), Evo Max 68x42 (BB30), Evo Max 68x46 (BB30), Evo Max 86,5x41 (PressFit) and Evo Max 86,5x46 (BB86)

What you need is the BSA one that I have highlighted in bold.

Again, found it via the distro;

giving the high cost (despite having SKF bearing which are well regarded), you're better off going for the SRAM option that included the bottom bracket and the bearing a much easily obtainable from any reputable bicycle shop.

Fwiw the supertype BB is the expensive version but there should be a cheaper standard version too.

Yup, another quick search of "Miche External Bottom Bracket" give me one that's under £20 (Miche Evo Max Cups ).

now time to get back to watching the new Ghostbusters on my lonesome.

Ok, serioulsy thanks a lot for all your help!!
I might still decide to go with omniums, but would this be a suitable bottom bracket?
I think its the cheaper version of the one linked above

Just seen your reply!
Thanks Dude!
Looks like i got some thinking to do, poor me having to make decisions like this;)

Just double check the Omniums will fit your frame, if it's the most recent iteration the chainring tabs foul the chainstays.
