BBright and BB30/PF30

Posted on
  • Afternoon guys, i'm having trouble between the infor i'm seeing online and the seller of a bike frame i'm trying to buy.

    Chap is selling a Cervelo R2 frameset. It's a BBright BB.

    I have a SRAM Force 22 crankset with BB30/PF30 etched on the spindle. Reading online, it seems that this would fit as the Force spindle is 10cm or so, not teh standard 6.9cm.

    The chap says that i'd need a SRAM GXP BB converter, and he's adamant that it won't fit. He's has a Shimano GXP crankset in his BBright system.

    Question is, am i right in that the Force 22 crankset will fit in the Rotor BBright BB? And is he confusing the two SRAM systems, those being BB30 and GXP?

  • And is he confusing the two SRAM systems, those being BB30 and GXP?

    Pretty much

  • Isn't BBright the same as BB30A from Cannondale? And don't these need a longer spindle than a regular BB30 crankset? For BB30 the shell width is 68mm and for BBright it is 7 9mm

    I think you'll need either a BBright specific crankset with a longer 30mm axle, or adaptors to run a 24mm axle like the GXP which have a longer axle.

    It's similar to the Cannondale PF30a BB, but BBright is wider.

    And don't these need a longer spindle than a regular BB30 crankset?

    Yes, but the Force 22 BB30 cranks are effectively 386EVO spec cranks so they have the necessary longer spindle.

  • Question is, am i right in that the Force 22 crankset will fit in the Rotor BBright BB?

    Yes.

    And is he confusing the two SRAM systems, those being BB30 and GXP?

    Yes. He be talking sloblocks.

  • Shimano GXP

    Definitely sloblocks. GXP is SRAM, Shimano cranks are HollowtechII.

  • Thanks for your help, Dan. Sounds like it’s all good. πŸ‘ŒπŸ»
