Replacing BB...What Type Do I Need?
 
Sorry if this is a silly question but I need to replace my large chainring, cassette and chain, and figured while I'm at it, I'll also replace the BB. It's a GXP crankset and I'm wondering if I can use a BB30 in place of the GXP. The bike is a 2012 Roubaix Elite Rival Compact. Thanks for your perspectives.

That page says it has a threaded bottom bracket - which is surprising for a carbon frame. But if that's true then no, you can't use a BB30 bottom bracket. Even if you could, you would need an adapter to use a GXP crank in a BB30 BB.

Your link, specs : SRAM S350

BB - COMPATIBILITY: BB30, PF30

can I make lunch for you too?

Is It threaded? IDK not My Bike.

I would not trust a lunch you made today. The pictured bike shows gxp, op said gxp, no bb30 can be entered into. Gxp is 24mm only.

Not sure where you see that?
The SRAM S350 is available in both 30mm and GXP 24mm. The Specialized page says:
Specialized FACT 8r carbon, FACT IS construction, compact race design w/ Zertz inserts, 1-1/8" to 1-3/8" head tube, internal rear brake cable, threaded BB

Thanks for the responses. Communicated with Specialized Service@theMasterLink today and received information that my bike is a GXP - English threaded. Their Twitter folks were fast - responses in minutes to my queries.
