*sigh* replacement BB30A chainsets for a Cannondale

    So… I have no reason to want to replace my stock FSA Gossamer, other than I saw some very tasty BB30 FSA K-Lights in the ChainReaction sale.

    Although I wasn’t seriously considering buying them, I did research whether I could fit them to my 5mm wider BB30A frame.

    As there don’t appear to be any spacers on an FSA BB30 crankset I figured no, as there would be nowhere for the extra 5mm of BB Shell to go.

    It got me wondering, how do you source a new chainset for a BB30A Cannondale? They must exist as I doubt top of the range Synapses come with FSA Gossamer cranks…

    Thanks

    Thanks guys, Praxis are quite
    Thanks guys, Praxis are quite explicit that their convertors don’t work with BB30A, I guess because the extra 5mm shell width messes with the expanding collet system that Praxis use (i.e. it wouldn’t expand enough). Plus the crank axles would still require an extra 5mm of length I guess.

    Will look at SRAM cranks, maybe they have 5mm worth of spacers that would allow the wider bottom bracket.

    Not a matter of urgency, I guess I’ll just have to forego the 58% saving on a nice Carbon crankset that I don’t actually need…

    Praxis Conversion Bottom
    Praxis Conversion Bottom Bracket lets you fit any standard chainset, including their own Turn sets.

    Otherwise pony up for a Cannondale Si.

    Sram Force 22 BB30 will fit.
    Sram Force 22 BB30 will fit. Maybe other Sram chainsets too.
