Press-In BB to Crank Set compatibility question
The bottom bracket- I am buying a frame that has a pressed-in bottom bracket already installed (the frame is a Trek EX9).
The cranks- I have a crankset laying around that I want to use for the build. The crankset is a RaceFace Deus x-type (uses external BB bearings).
Can I install those cranks using the already installed press-in BB....or would this require me to buy a new crankset to work with press-in bb? If so.....that's a deal breaker.

If the BB is a bb30 or similar what you might need is an adapter...
