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

Switching crankset

Do I need to get a new bb too?

I currently have FSA gossamer crank, sram rival bb, GXP. probably english threads but i'm not 100% sure. Frame is aluminum if that helps.

Thanks

It depends on what crank you are putting on it.

you need a mega exo BB to use the FSA Crank. GXP works with Sram and truvativ cranks. GXP BB + FSA crank = Fail

okay forget the gxp, it is just the standard on most road bikes, not i repeat not bb30, bbright or anything.
The way i have it now, it came that way when the bike was purchased.
