Cannondale sl crankset on S-works sl3 roubaix?
Posted: Tue Mar 13, 2012 2:30 pm
Newbie here looking for a little help. I'm building up my first bike from scratch and it looks like I should have done a little homework first. I've got a new 2011 S-works roubaix sl3 frame. The frame has a carbon shell where the BB goes that's 46mm dia. And about 62mm wide. I did not get any BB parts with the frame.
I ordered a "complete" BB for this frame from my Lbs. After waiting a couple weeks for it to come in I went to pick it up and they handed me 2 bearings. I asked where the rest of the BB was. At first they insisted that was it. I told them I thought it came with some bearing cups that locate the bearing at regular BB30 width. They did not have the cups (I ordered them). They told me that the cups do not space out the bearings past the 62mm width. Is this true? Is there any way to mount my already purchased cannondale crankset on this frame without a bunch of really thick spacers? My lbs suggested I buy the s-works crankset but I'd like to run the cannondale because it's lighter and I already own it.
