BB30 crank on BSA frame (only rotor?)
Moderator: robbosmans
For my new build i am looking for a crankset but since i don't know what frame i will have (waiting on 2012 models), i would like to buy a bb30 crankset. But then when i would decide to go for a BSA frame, could i only fit a rotor 3D+ with rotor bsa30 bottombracket or are there other options? Is it possible to use the rotor bsa30 bb with other cranks (sram red/force,...) or are there other bsa30 bb manufacutrers for BSA? I did a search on the forum but couldn't find an answer.
Thanks

If you can fit the crank in a BSA bottom bracket, then it can never be a true BB30 crank.
The new FSA BB386 will be one of the interim solutions you might be looking for. Thick crank-spindle, but wide enough to allow for external bearings, or spaced-out BB30 bottom brackets

Rotor is not a BB30 crank it is a BB30 compatible crank. A real BB30 crank will never fit properly in a BSA frame. However, you can fit nearly every crank on the market in a BB30 frame. Just remember BB30 crank = BB30 frame period no exceptionsunless you wan't to make some serious modifications, but you'll still not get the crank running ideally. BB30 frame = nearly any crank you want.

Zipp Vuma quads use a 30mm spindle and work on a BSA or bb30 frame.
With bracket cups like sold on the link below you can fix this.
Read explanation carefully for compatibilities.

Period.
Rotor/BB386 is not BB30 but still better than BB30. You first decide which frame then crank, not the other way around.
