Want to use a HollowTech II Crank on a 2012 Giant TCX 2
So I am helping a friend build up a frame he got and I have a spare crankset that is a Shimano R565 Hollowtech II. The Giant frame accepts pressfit bottom bracket. Can someone help me understand which bottom bracket I need so this crank will work?
Here is the bike frame that we have. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...76247554,d.aWw
I have searched and found varying answers, anyone help clarify for me?
Thanks,
Nate

Take some measurements and that will determine what the proper BB is. From the descriptions it is probably BB86 - you will need a Shimano BB86 bottom bracket (or equivalent) to use your Shimano crank.
