Hi,
can I replace this:
http://cycle.shimano-eu.com/catalog/cycle/products/component.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524441770447&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302034840&ASSORTMENT%3C%3East_id=1408474395181175&bmUID=1128460214137

with this:
http://www.fullspeedahead.com/fly.aspx?layout=product&taxid=21&pid=52

Is this possible? I suppose I need to buy an Isis bottom bracket but which one?
http://www.fullspeedahead.com/fly.aspx?layout=product&taxid=29&pid=73

does everything else stay the same (apart from lowering the front derailleur)?

Thanks for your help

As I read it you need an isis 108 spindle BB to go with the FSA crank. Threading obviously has to match your frame threading.

I have a similar question, i am looking at the Vigorelli cranks for my pursuit frame, it has a 36x24 70mm italian bb, I understand that i need ISIS 108 spindle BB, but will this fit into the bb?

Can anyone shed some light, i have explored quite a bit and even read FSA tech articles, still mystery.
