    Hi the bb on my Orbea Avant H30 2015 is creaking as much as my knees so thinking of changing it through the winter. Looking at Youtube it seems a simple thing to do, is that really true or should i just leave it to the pros? 

     

    If it is something i can do what can i use? from the writing on the components It currently has a FSA Gossamer n10/11 110bcd crank and a FSA Mega exo bb-6200. 

     

    What are my options? Can i swap the components for Shimano Ultegra Hollowtech 11 bb and a 105 crankset? Is it a straight swap? 

     

    The FSA BB is more expensive then the shimano, is it better?  is their another BB i can use that is of similar quality to the shimano and keep the crankset? 

     

    So fonts of all knowledge what would you do? 

     

    Cheers

    You can install Shimano SM

    You can install Shimano SM-BBR60 and use your FSA crankset. The Shimano and FSA spinde sizes are the same (24mm). Be sure to wipe out old grease, wipe new grease across BB threads not with threads for there’s a chance a metal sliver may exist. You will not be happy if you get one stuck in your fingertip. Also clean and grease the crank spindle. With the right tools you will be done in under 20-30 minutes.
