ARE FSA Outboard Bottom Brackets compatible with Truvativ
 

my LBS says that the fsa megaxo bottom bracket will interchange with my truvativ crank. I thought i have read on here that they won't that fsa and shimano would only do this i need to know i think he order the wrong part we go through this with him all the time and he always does this. Let me know
Thanks , Bill

ttt need to know

No. FSA and Shimano interchange. Truvativ is a different setup...

I have all 3, FWIW...

Thanks damocles1 for your help i will tell him to cancel or send it back and i will just order the right like he was suppose to do anyway

Interesting....I just picked up a Truvativ compact and was going to switch it with an FSA I'm running on one of the bikes...using the FSA cups. They sure look like they're compatible.

Good to know....thanks.

If it matters, and if I recall correctly, TruVativ BB's are removed with Hollowtech tools...

(or was it Octalink... I totally should know this...)

Truvativ/SRAM BB's have slightly different inside diameters on each cup. A crankset by SRAM/Truvativ requires a SRAM/Truvativ BB.

Shimano and FSA BB's have the same diameter on both cups. They are compatible with each other.

All of these BB's use the same tool.

Is the fancy SRAM Force/Rival/Red kit compatible with regular ol' Truvativ?

I thought the rival crank was just a rebadge Truvativ...
