Bottom Bracket Question

I was just curious. Would it be possible to switch out my current Octalink BB with the new outboard BB? If so, what other components do I also need to change out (i.e. Crank)?

Thanks

Yup, you got it right. The BB tube threading standards for English and Italian remain the same. You just need a new BB, crankset, and (maybe) a spacer. Necessary spacers will usually come with the new components.
