Red cranks - as umd pointed out - are available in both BB30 and Regular threaded BB standard. SRAM's name for their regular threadded BB is Truvativ's "GXP"
If you don't have a BB30 frame - then you can't run BB30.
So are you saying that to use SRAM cranks I'd need a GXP bb, and that the GXP would be compatible with this frame?
