Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Replacing BB30 with dura ace crank?

So I have a cannondale synapse that came with stock FSA Gossamer Pro BB30, 50/34. My friend is a pro biker and has a bunch of extra parts so he is sending me a dura ace 7950 crank for free to replace my current crank. Will the dura ace bottom bracket be compatible with my bike or will I have to buy some type of spacers or anything to make it fit on my bike. Thanks in advance for the help

Yep, it will work just fine. You just need a BB30 - Shimano 24mm adapter.

get a wheels manufacturing bb30 adapter. They are cheap, hand-pressed, can use current bb30 bearing setup, and most importantly, can be removed easily if you go back to a BB30 crank.

I use these on my supersix and they are simply brilliant! https://wheelsmfg.com/content/view/785/54/
