hello, I've done a few searches but still cant get a definitive answer to this.
A friend is looking to upgrade from a specialized tarmac sl2 to either a Giant Propel adv sl or a scott foil team hmx fameset and new groupset.
He has a quarq riken but its BB30 that he ideally wants to reuse - are there any adapters that will allow him to get a bb30 quarq into either of these pf86 framesets?
Ive seen these http://rotorbike.com/products/road/bb86_40 by rotor but its a bit confusing.

As 585 said, Riken is not a true BB30. It will fit, but bearing life will be short as the bottom bracket is designed for a 24mm spindle and the riken has a 30mm spindle, the additional 6mm has to come out of space available for the bearings.

As already stated the Riken has a longer spindle as it is not a true BB30 crank.
