I believe the F8 uses an italian threaded bottom bracket shell. The best sram option for that is GXP. On the Pinarello website the SRAM bikes are pictured with GXP cranksets. This would require you to replace the bottom bracket to a GXP italian threaded one.

However as your bike currently has italian30 rotor cups you could fit the sram bb30 crankset straight into that without changing the bottom bracket. This would require a little bit of playing around with spacers and wavy washers.

If it were me I'd go the GXP option and change the bottom bracket to GXP too.

I am using a Quarq Dzero with a GXP (Italian threaded) bottom bracket on a Pinarello GAN RS. With the exception of that idiotic "hidden bolt" design on the spider, its a great setup.

I'm using Zipp Vuma ITL BB with a Quarq Elsa BB30, works great.
