Looking for a new BB30 chainset and wanting to know if when they give weights it includes the bottom bracket.
eg SRAM Force says 645g w/bb. Does the 'w' mean with or without?
FSA SL-K Carbon chainset website shows figures under 'Crankweight' which I'm guessing excludes the bottom bracket element especially as it's under the 600g mark.
Cheers

Thanks for that.
So if I have an existing FSA Gossamer Pro BB30 chainset and upgrade to a SRAM Force or FSA SL-K Carbon I can simply retain the existing BB bearings in the frame or do I have to buy SRAM/FSA specific bearings?
First BB30 bike I've had you see.
Cheers for your help guys.
Planet X RT-57 custom build ongoing....
Depends on if the spacers/dust caps comes with the crankset or the BB. They might also be integrated into the crankarms, I know they are on some FSA cranksets. Yes you can use the same bearings.
