Wilier Cento Uno BB Question

cormpat

I've just pulled the trigger on a new frame, a Wilier Cento Uno, but have a few questions on the bottom bracket if anyone can help me out?

I'm going to put Sram Force (I know, heresy I hear you say!) on it but can anyone tell me which crankset will work? GXP or BB30? I've read online that the Cento Uno has an intergrated bb but can't find any information about which crank will fit it?

I've emailed Wiler direct in Italy & had no reply & the company where I bought the frame are in Holland & there English isn't the best either only saying that the frame is compatiable with Sram.

Can anyone confirm if they have a Cento Uno, what will work?

Cheers,

Raam

I know people who have SRAM Force/Red on their Cento Uno. Not sure exactly which BB style it is. I have Campag Ultra Torque on mine. I also had Shimano Ultegra on it before that.

If it is the new model then Campag/Fulcrum cranks fit directly into the frame no cups required. There are several offers on Fulcrum cranks at the moment.

'Wilier OBB (oversized bottom bracket) system, Crankbox adapter for Shimano (Not Sram) Campagnolo and Fulcrums cranksets fits directly.'

No, it's the 2012 model, not the SR. Maybe just getting a Fulcrum chainset is the safest way to go....

The BB386 Evo standard is wider than BB30.

As I understand it, "true" BB30 cranks have a shorter spindle and won't work on a BB386 Evo frame.

So my bet would be on the GXP.

"SRAM believes in the BB30 bottom bracket standard. That's why they offer it in their top two cranksets, including this SRAM Force BB30 Crankset. How's this different than their Force GXP Crankset and how is it better? The difference is that it's designed around the BB30 bottom bracket standard which makes use of a 30mm crank spindle and larger bearings that are pressed directly into an oversized shell. You get a lighter and stiffer crank, the bearings are larger and more durable (bigger is better, remember ISIS?), and since the spindle is shorter, there is more ankle and heel clearance between your shiny shoes and your new crankarms"

Cheers Lumen, just from looking at the Competitive Cyclist website's Wiler Bike Build Section they only sell Cento Uno's with the GXP Chainset so it must be only GXP.
