Hi,

Do you know any bottom bracket or adapter allowing to use ISIS Standard Crankset with BB86 frame? I got the oportunity of buying very cheap Mythic Carbon Crankset but I see no solution for compatibility problem :cry:

Seems to me this is somewhat akin to the Hollowgram in a non-BB30 frameset question. Regardless of custom spindle or not, a standard ISIS crank was designed in the days of 68 mm wide threaded bottom bracket shell, thus an ISIS crank spider is not going to have the proper offset for a wider bottom bracket. So like the hollowgram crank, a longer spindle is simply going to move the chainrings out beyond the required chainline, effectively moving the inner chainring where the out chainring would be on a BB86 crank.
