DA 10spd BB cups compatibility
Here's a question for the knowledgeable...
I have a DA 10 speed crankset, 53/39. I want to convert to using the FSA SLK compact cranksets with the 50/34 chainrings. I want to know if anyone knows whether or not the shimano BB cups are compatible with the FSA cranks and spindle? The reason why I am asking this is that I currently have the Italian treaded bb cups on my frameset and I do not believe FSA makes a Italian version of the SLK EXO crankset, so it would be great if I can use these cups with the compact cranks.
Thanks !
