Upgrade to Shimano External BB on Langster?
I've tried searching everywhere but to no avail..........is it possible to upgrade my BB to a shimano external BB on a 2009 langster? I can't find any info anywhere on whether or not the BB will thread in properly. CUrrent BB is a Sealed cartridge, square taper, 68mm x 103mm. I have a ultegra crank that I want to throw on.

It will go on fine assuming your cups are English threaded. You'll need to use the inside ring position to get a 42mm chainline.
