The bottom bracket dilema

Mechanic365

Been trolling around ebay for a frameset for january, im going down the TCR route or for specialized. If all came to all a planet x.

The grouppo is going to be SRAM RED either way, ive noticed that the tcr's usually have push - fit bb and not bb30's.

I just want to clarify in my head,
Can i use my SRAM GXP Crankset with a push - fit type bb frame? and how?
Did giant ever produce a TCR with a bb30 type bottom bracket cup?
And yes i know nothing about BB'S

I would thank you all graciously for your help...

So basically theres a press fit bb to suit the gxp cross shaft, im assuming the width is also the same. Thanks

Hey,

Yes,there is a bb to suit what your after,Give Malte in the store in cycle superstore a call, he will know what your after and order it for you,there is a good chance he'd have one in stock,I'm almost sure it's a sram gxp bb86 your after,

Yes you can and Zippe is correct re:GXP BB86.
