Bottom Bracket
 

Happy New Year fellow riders :)

Last month I got a great deal on a Blue RC8 road bike (It came with a mix of FSA and 105 parts) and my plan is to build it up piece by piece. I did some searching online and can't find out if my bike has a BB30 bottom bracket or something else. This is what it says on the website:

•Aerus Conquest T700 high modulus carbon Mono Box bottom bracket shell

Trying to figure out if I can buy any 170mm crank with BB30 or if it has to be something special. The hubby and I are trying to work on our own bikes and learning how to piece things together etc... so far I can install a headset, change my own tire and wrap my bars :) slow process but getting there. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers

BB30 is non threaded and takes 42mm OD bearings that press in. So it's a 42mm hole.

First link I got: http://www.rideblue.com/rc8.php

"english threaded" means not bb30

Thanks Shuke... are cranks going to be easy to find or will it take some work? Will I have to look for something specific that says "english threaded?" Thank you so much

English threaded cranks are probably going to be easier to find than BB30. They're pretty common.

90% of the cranks are English threaded.

I think, but I'm not sure (I could probably google this, but eh, what fun would that be?) that english threaded BB's are marked with the "1.37 x 24 TPI" while Italian BBs aren't. Not totally sure, but I think this is accurate.

English, BSA, ISO, are all the same. They are extremely common. Almost every crank comes in english/BSA. Try Shimano, SRAM or FSA.
