hi (happy new year!),
i am thinking of switching to a frame that has a standard (pre BBRight Cervelo) GXP bottom bracket. I have a current set of FSA SLK crankset on my current frame which is BB30. Is there a conversion adapter that will allow me to use this crankset on an older style BB?
thanks!

assuming this is a true BB30, the answer is no, the axle is too short

the man is correct. the bb30 spindle is shorter and rounder (30x68 vs 24x86 for GxP)
